[Dx4win] can DX4WIN export to a cabrillo format

[David Kozinn, K2DBK]

One of the problems is that you then have to have a way to specify the 
contest-specific header and possibly deal with different data in the 
file depending on the contest.

I normally use the N1MM contest logger for contesting, but there have 
been a few times when I hadn't intended to participate in a contest but 
figured I'd log a few contacts in D4W, then later decided to submit a 
log. What I did was to export my contacts in ADIF, import them into 
N1MM, then export the Cabrillo log from there. It worked fine, and while 
it was another few steps, it wasn't really a big deal.
