Nice to see some other people interested in my selfhacked bash scripts.
Unfortienately I will not be able to send the script in another week or so,
I'm at sea and cannot access internet with the computer where I have the
script and USB access is limited.

Basically the script is a series of sed statements to clean up mistakes made
by the program I used to download tracks from my Garmin GPS, the GPX file I
got out was messy, contained tags that was clealy program internal (not GPX
tags), time format was wrong, and it used comma (,) instead of point (.) to
separate decimals. I added also a way to save the uncleaned GPX using tar
and upload the cleaned to OSM. The uncleaned files was generally around 4MB,
while the cleaned usually came out with 800kB.

If more people are interested in it (and other similar scripts) than I will
post them at my web page later.
