The Gretl econometrics package (http://gretl.sf.net) also has a small
library for reading Excel files (in the file plugin/excel_import.c), its
code goes back to
/*
Based on xls2csv (David Rysdam, 1998), as distributed in the
"catdoc" package by Vitus Wagner, with help from the Gnumeric
excel plugin by Michael Meeks.
*/
I have meant to muck with this for some time now, but this is a very low
priority item for me and other things keep popping up.
