Import/Export maps

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What new or enhanced feature are you proposing?
 I made a windows batch script(ExportMaps.bat) that exports all the maps in 
"%userProfile%\.googlemaps" into an executable using NSIS, but that is not 
portable to other OS, we should create an OS independent tool to import and 
export tiles

What goal would this enhancement help you achieve?
 Import/Export maps from all supported OS

Iam thinking about it recently.

My proposal:
Button 'Download' will not be button any more but select-box.
There will be following options in select-box:
- Download (same as now)
- Export (into new/remote tiles repository)
- Import (from remote tiles repository)

Export 
======
- shows dialog window similar to 'Download'. There will be additional widgets:
- checkbox - entire current tiles repository - if not checked export only 
region displayed in the map window.
- checkbox - all zoom levels. If not checked, export only zoom levels selected 
in dialog window (min - max)
- remote tiles repository - where is the destination for export. If tiles 
repository doesn't exist, new will be created. If remote tiles repository 
exists, current tiles  will be imported into remote tiles repository.
- tiles repository type - files / sqlite3 / MQMaps

Import
======
- import tiles from remote tiles repository
- checkbox - all zoom levels. If not checked, import only zoom levels selected 
in dialog window (min - max)

Update:
- i have working export for repository types: files and sqlite3. 
- everything is in main thread
Todo:
- extend export also to the last missing repository type and 
- move processing to separate thread
Hope to do it soon :)

Note:
- import is "reverse" export - importing means put tiles from "remote repos" to 
"current repos". It can be done as open "remote repos" and export tiles to 
"current repos". So i'm not willing to implement import.

Initially when I created the ExportMaps.bat script I was thinking on a way to 
make it easy for non technical users (like my parents) to import the maps, I 
will do all the download in a high speed connection export it and then send 
them DVDs with updates.
