Unexpected quoting in GMT vector output.

Description (Last modified by warmerdam)

I've just installed GDAL v1.5 & am working through some GMT files generated by ogr2ogr (from VMAP0 shapefiles).

I've tweaked the docs to describe the output, which didn't take much. The only bug I've noticed is that ogr2ogr writes the contents of dbf double fields as a quoted text string, with leading whitespace, whereas I expected an unquoted numeric value with no whitespace, as for integer fields.

eg:
