Plain -DGNIMPORT no longer writes drawings next to referenced files on
its own: references are ignored unless the window (or the kept import
settings) asks to translate them or attach them as underlays.
A referenced file named relative to the host is looked up in the host's
folder rather than the working directory. Its translated drawing takes
a file name made from the model name with path separators and other
reserved characters replaced, so it is always written in the
reference's own folder. A reference placed in sub units is scaled by the
same factor as its origin.
Layer, block, text style and reference names read from the file are
made valid symbol names (reserved characters become underscores).
An instance of a cell that has no block (the point display cell, an
empty or missing definition) is dropped instead of inserting a block
that does not exist.
"Prompt to overwrite" still keeps an existing translated drawing; the
code now says so instead of implying a prompt.

Name clashes, DGNIMPORTMODE and prefixing as the reference names them;
V7 cell copies, unshared cells and mirrored placements as blocks;
justified text and text nodes placed at their justification points with
the reference's MTEXT contents; B-spline curves as splines and 3D arcs and
ellipses in their own planes; every V8 level as a layer; design models
only; reference attachments translated, ignored or attached as underlays.
The colour index palette comes from the codec fix it depends on.

The DGN V7/V8 readers expose each element (level, symbology, geometry,
complex chains, text nodes, shared cells). DGNIMPORT / -DGNIMPORT convert a
model with the Standard mapping into a new drawing; IMPORT opens the
Import File window and routes PDF and DGN files to their importers.
