They realize that they'll get a much higher bill, and more bugs to boot?

I don't think there is an easy way around this, but at least you have some code 
to start reading gdb - as far as I know the GPSBabel sources are the only 
public description of the gdb file format. It is not trivial, but restricting 
yourself to the parts needed for the application may provide some shortcuts.
