[Dx4win] ADIF Import of LOTW

[Wendell Wyly - W5FL]

That would be a wonderful addition to DX4WIN and you have described the
necessary settings that would be useful.  

Although you can do replace existing data now, that is not nearly as useful
as letting you be asked on a per-item basis.  Since many people who send
records to LOTW do not seem to know their zones, etc., a wholesale replace
is not advisable and will quickly foul up the countries database exceptions.

I can see this being useful as an option, with settings like:
         -Imported data does not replace existing data
         -Imported data completely overwrites existing data
         -Imported data only overwrites missing data
         -User is asked on a per-item/per-QSO basis

You listening Paul? :-)
