FSX BGLXML 2.1

BGLXML 2.1 streamlines FSX scenery development by disassembling BGL files into compile-ready XML for Microsoft BGLCOMP and extracting .MDL assets from ModelData sections. The open-source toolkit includes the XMLSHELL Windows Explorer interface and adds apron and boundary fence decoding, improved AFCAD/AFX handling, and cleaner XML output for easier recompiles.
