TerraSync is supposed to in-sync with fgdata I think, but hopefully Martin will
respond with more details.

I would greatly prefer you NOT do this, because the internal format of the
cache (eg, the fact it's a SQL DB) is deliberately opaque. There are no
guarantees made about the format of the file, the SQL scheme or anything. There
is a version field of course, and I'm not planning or expecting any changes,
but I really don't want to be tied to the current scheme if we discover
problems or want to add something else in the future.
Kind regards,
