That is a good post I used the CgpsMapper a few years ago to convert a ton of quad tracks I had I was sick of loading a different track for all the different areas now one map has years of tracks on it. I will give your post a read later as its been years so I barely remember the steps I do remember something overlaying the maps on transparent backgrounds and had to do alot of experimenting to make it work nice over top of the topo canada maps. Here is a few links to some other methods and I have a bunch more links as well:
