Importing of <desc> field from .loc files for manually added notes

[GoogleCodeExporter]

I often add comments and notes to my .loc files (usually for puzzles).  It 
would be great if those comments could be loaded into GeoBeagle to populate the 
"Details" field.

Example .loc:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<loc version="1.0" src="Groundspeak">
<waypoint>
    <name id="GC14PCP"><![CDATA[I Scream. You Scream. by SouthBayCrew]]></name>
    <coord lat="37.000" lon="-122.000"/>
    <type>Geocache</type>
    <link text="Cache Details">http://www.geocaching.com/seek/cache_details.aspx?wp=GC14PCP</link>
    <desc>This involved calculus.</desc>
</waypoint></loc>

Adding this line to GpxPath.java might be enough:

GPX_LONGDESC("/loc/waypoint/desc",
            PathType.LONG_DESCRIPTION),

Thanks for the enhancement!

The "Details" button was still grayed out in my test on the attached cache; not 
sure whether the <desc> field populated the database or not.

(Don't worry about it if this turns out to be time-consuming; I improvised a 
temporary solution.)
