[Therion] Tunnel to therion conversion

[Andrew Atkinson]

Not strictly tunnel to therion, but I've tried XML to therion. The bit that flawed me and others was the lack of explicit direction of lines, which for therion is important but not for most other software. It appeared that drawing again would be about the same work as giving direction to the lines. 

Not surprisingly this is a project of mine that is still awaiting a solution.
