An interesting addition: Assuming that the position of the wherigo cache is
also the start position of the cartridge (*), one may - even without logging
in!! - use the search
http://www.wherigo.com/search/results.aspx?searchlat=...&searchlon=...&stype=8&r
ad=1
- there's a link to .../cartridges/details.aspx... contained in the results
page.
(*) I know that there are "location-less" cartridges which may be played
everywhere, but those are just an exception to the rule.

There's a little set of patches which incorporates a minimum of Werigo support
into GeoToad. It cannot (and never will) take care of missing cartridge GUIDs
(you may use something like the scriptlet attached to fill in the gaps, using
the coordinates and wherigo.com's search), and it won't do the downloading for
you - but still it might be of some use?

Attachments:
The patch (and accompanying script) have been committed, but everything beyond
has to be performed separately. I will create a new project for that: WigToad
("wig" as in "where-i-go", "toad" is obvious - anyone who comes up with a nice
image?).
WigToad will have no search (as I have no use for that).
wherigo.com still (but for how long?) uses the old authentication mechanism,
and allows access to cartridge "details" without prior login (but no download).
Note that one has to accept the EULA of wherigo.com by hand once, this will
never be done automatically. More soon, "over there".

http://code.google.com/p/wigtoad/ - it's far from being complete and tidy, but
I have successfully downloaded some cartridges yet. Use at your own risk, of
course. Feedback welcome.

I'm afraid the stubs currently in GeoToad are all that can be done "on this
side". WigToad, on the other hand, needs some more work.
