Thanks to these guys (https://github.com/curtacircuitos/pcb-tools) who
wrote an excellent gerber parser in python I was able to throw
together a script that does exactly that.

See pcb_tools_import.py in the repository for an example of importing
a gerber and writing it back out. I have attached a screen shot with a
side by side comparison of the input and output.

The GLIF repository is located at: https://github.com/python50/GLIF
