To export a drillhole group to LAS files, the user chooses the drillhole group
to export and pick a directory under which the files will be saved.

The files can be exported to a single directory or to a set of sub-directories
organized by property group.

    *Choosing a directory tree structure vs. a flat structure.*

If the user chooses to export to a directory tree structure, the files will be
organized into sub-directories for each property group

Otherwise, a flat structure will be used with filenames augmented with property
group names to avoid conflicts.
