Hi [~tallison] & Whoever else. 

I managed to compile the C/C++ library ([http://dgnlib.maptools.org/)] for DGN7 which produces an dgndump.exe which will dump all the data from the DGN. From my initial testing it looks pretty good. 

Would you guys think it was worth adding this or just keep it as a custom parser rather than in the main source code? It's under MIT license. I've attached the exe (zipped), a copy of the output from the dump and my very dirty testing calling the exe (my code I was only interested in the Strings so am only pulling those into a string array at the moment to check it's pulling out the correct data).
