[FWTools] table to ESRI shapefile

Hello,

I have a table where the first four rows define the XY points vertices of a
(square) polygon, the next four rows define another polygon, and so on.
Example:

id      X     Y
1	57.482	6.08
1	56.866	6.206
1	56.761	5.693
1	57.376	5.566
2	60.734	1.119
2	60.123	1.249
2	60.014	0.729
2	60.625	0.598
...

Is there an FTtools approach to making this table into an ESRI vector
polygon shapefile?

Thanks for any advice,

Greg
