Overview dump and restore tool

I have written a dump and restore tool for overview, which can be used 
to convert an overview database from one storage method to another, or 
to back up an overview database.

The dump tool acts as a client, doing OVsearch on every group in the 
active file and printing to stdout a portable, text format dump of all 
overview records.  The restore tool reads that dump and uses OVadd to 
place the records into a new overview database.

Both tools provide command line arguments that allow you to override 
key settings in inn.conf, such as the ovmethod and pathoverview 
settings, so you can do a command line like this:

   ovdump -m tradindexed -p /old/ov | ovrestore -m ovdb -p /new/ov

The manual at http://www.avalon.net/~hakehoe/inn/ovdumprestore.html has 
more usage examples.

The tools should work with INN 2.4 or newer.
