search for xls2csv on freshmeat. it works for simpler excel files but
tends to segfault with complicated ones (with macros, etc) :(

if anyone currently knows some better tool for the task, i'm all ears.

for one idea, it would be really cool if somebody extracted the msoffice
filters from eq. openoffice and modified them to standalone csv/xml
conversion tool.
