There seems to be other options for doing that, for example, using
gpsbabel, that seems to support the format, both read and write:
http://www.gpsbabel.org/htmldoc-development/fmt_gtrnctr.html

Read the information in the link above, as I think what "gpsbabel" supports
is the best you can get readily available, cross-platform, and free of charge.

Extending QLGT to support more formats (both loading and saving to) would
be as "easy" as making it dependant on gpsbabel, and converting to/from GPX
format, and process the data internally as if a real GPX had been opened.
Or just silently use "gpsbabel" if available to do so, and avoid the
dependency (i.e. Ubuntu QLGT packages declare "gpsbabel" as "recommended").
