Description
When converting a CSV file to DBF or joining a CSV file to a Shapefile each String field width is 80 character. Can the width be specified in a .csvt file? The default String width will remain at 80 char? It would be nice to also define the decimal places of a Real datatype. For example,
"String (10)","Real (12.9)","String (200)"
Thank you.
Keith

Even,
This looks good to me. Feel free to commit it as long as you add something for this feature in the test suite and document it in the user docs.

Keith,
I had previously understood you were having problem with field width support in .csvt files, but I see this is really a request for an enhancement. I'll reclassify it as such, but I don't anticipate any action on it in the near future.
