Feature request: upload logs recorded with old (pre-00.7.00) versions

[GoogleCodeExporter]

I have a bunch of data that I collected with earlier versions (00.6.00 to 
00.6.02) of Radiobeacon, which had several issues:

* Lat/Lon bug (Issue 9)
* Versions prior to 00.7.00 apparently skipped large portions of the data on 
export. When examining a batch of log files from one export, each WiFi log file 
would span less than a minute of data, then there would be a gap of ~5 minutes 
to the next one.

Data in the database seems complete and correct. I have seen data in the DB 
that definitely didn't get exported with 00.6.02. With 00.7.00 it gets 
exported, but reports the old version - so the receiving end will not know if 
the file is suffering from the lat/lon bug.

Those of us who have kept their databases still have all the data we spent a 
lot of time collecting, but we don't know how much of it actually made it into 
OpenBmap.

I would therefore like a feature to re-upload data collected with these old 
versions, with a version code that clearly identifies the file as not suffering 
from the lat/lon bug so the receiving end can parse it correctly.

It's actually a one-liner, but I'm hesitating to integrate such function in 
master branch. A option to re-upload could cause severe damage to the database, 
if used improperly. It would also make the the manual cleanup, which currently 
takes place, much harder, as we would have to deal with a lot more cases.

If you drop me a line with your username, it would send you a one-off forked 
solution. Does that sound ok for you?

As discussed per mail, I'm closing this issue now..

For everybody:

Instructions for manual upload with version >= 0.6.0 are available on request. 
Just send me a mail to receive instructions in case you're affected.

If you still have files from version 0.4.999 client, please also include the sd 
card log files: You'll find the collected 0.4.999 data on your SD card under 
\MeasurePlace\wifi and \MeasurePlace\cells. Zip all of them and mail them to me 
and we can easily put them in the processing queue manually.
