Apart from DDD.dddddd, DDD MM SS.sss and grads, output format DDD MM.mmmm is
also desired (as mentioned in the OOo issue). 
This format is used for navigational purposes (e.g. GPS position) and I use it
almost weekly in Calc for conversions and/or calculations.

I can and want to work on the functions/calculations to be added to Calc, but
for adding a new cell format category (including its ODF formatting) I would
need help.
