yep, the hooks make it easier to add new formats. I've attached a patch
with basic support for the ADIF format (adif.patch.gz). 
It's done using lex, and works okay with the various examples at
 ftp://www.hosenose.com/radio/adif/

Please let me know how it works for you, the code is still not perfect
on field type handling and conversion (e.g. GMT format).

The patch is against 0.6rc2, but actualy meant to be included in 0.7.
The new fields will then need to be added.

I've tested it with a 8000+ qso file, and it looks like the scanner
performs well, while memory allocation starts to be an issue.
NOTE: I don't know why, REMARKS and QSLOUT columns are mixed-up.

Hand-patch the following's to test ADIF load and save. 
It will affect any ~/.xlog/*.xlog
