other file formats

Support the whole complement of file types that geojson.io can handle.

Will probably rely on #1 file picker to avoid nasty long data URIs.

Right now the URL api is somewhat limited, and I'm not sure whether I should break the assumption that it expects GeoJSON.

Huh this is gonna be fun.

Thinking out loud: maybe we should just use the gist API to create a private, anonymous gist and then pass that to geojson.io instead of doing togeojson magic locally. Would help with App Store #9 too to not have to shell out.

[incanus]

Above doesn't help. Explored calling various geojson.io code via JavaScriptCore but not workable. Probably will have to just ship command-line togeojson unless a real upload API takes shape.

[incanus]

Command-line togeojson is also going to require node being shipped with the app.

Looked into possibilities for DOM parsing within JavaScriptCore in order to pass documents to toGeoJSON.kml() and toGeoJSON.gpx() but no dice.

[tmcw]

Eh, I'll just implement conversion in the URL api

[incanus]

Awesome, that'd be great.

Punting on this for now. Defer to website version.
