"""
xlsx2tsv filename.xlsx [sheet number or name]
 
Parse a .xlsx (Excel OOXML, which is not OpenOffice) into tab-separated values.
If it has multiple sheets, need to give a sheet number or name.
Outputs honest-to-goodness tsv, no quoting or embedded \\n\\r\\t.
 
One reason I wrote this is because Mac Excel 2008 export to csv or tsv messes
up encodings, converting everything to something that's not utf8 (macroman
perhaps). This script seems to do better.
 
The spec for this format is 5220 pages. I did not use it. This was helpful:
http://blogs.msdn.com/excel/archive/2008/08/14/reading-excel-files-from-linux.aspx
But mostly I guessed how the format works. So bugs are guaranteed.
