Actually, I think this is a gerbv feature request: I envision a pop-up
window which allows you to specify the base orientation for XYRS data:
12 o'cloc, 9 o'clock, 6 o'clock, 3 o'clock.

Maybe an XYRS configuration pop-up, including setting the orentation,
also some type of pull-down selectors which allow you to specify which
column (column number) holds each of the X, Y, R, and S data.  Maybe
also a pattern to match for board side (TOP, FRONT, vs. BOTTOM, REAR,
BACK).

Some simple settable parsing parameters might help with situations
like this.
