Any word on the Civ5Save format?

One thing that is needed is a utility to convert bitmaps into hex based Civ5 maps. I could probably make one, but I wonder if the file format is published anywhere. Unlike Civ4 it is a binary format that you can't just read and figure out.

Does anyone know more about this?

I haven't looked at it, but it is on my todo list (a bit further down though...) I was thinking of writing a simple utility that can import images in various formats and convert them to maps for use with World Builder. However, as you've already said, the map format is binary and may take a little while to reverse engineer if no documentation is provided.
