Multi-selection was also too complicated when Roberto suggested it
first time. I'd add useful suggestions to a TODO list and maybe
implement them later.

There is Nasal IO in CVS, but it's currently commented out. We have
yet to think about security issues. (But I'm glad that it's there!)
But even then, files in $FG_ROOT/ wouldn't be user writable in most
cases. But ...

I have a little bash script for Unix users:

  http://members.aon.at/mfranz/ufo-exec [1 kB]

It takes ~/.fgfs/ufo-model-export.xml and appends the OBJECT lines
to the respective *.stg files in ~/.fgfs/Scenery/, along with START/END
comments and date. All you need to do is to add ~/.fgfs/Scenery/
to $FG_SCENERY. You can change the path to write to $FG_ROOT/Scenery/
too, of course.
