I don't have a problem with the name change to GPX Base, or a Java
package structure that started with a prefix like
org.geotools.gpxbase.

I'm not sure about merging the modules though. They take two
approaches to two different problems. I believe the existing GeoTools
module is more tightly integrated with the existing GeoTools feature
module. I'm not sure if it would be possible to expose the low-level
guts of the existing GPX module, because I'm not even sure how the
parsing of the XML files works.

I also took some "risks" with my module, like using Joda for time
management, using JDOM for file i/o, and making direct use of JTS for
GPX entity geometries. I suppose that is why this module belongs in
"unsupported".

Still, I understand the need to avoid muddying the water with
unnecessary duplication. This excercise was really not about the code
for me, but about learning the GoeTools development process. I guess I
did get kind of hooked on the whole GPX idea, and wrote more code than
I ever intended.
