Take a look at xslt stylesheets and the xsltproc command. If it is just converting unconditionally all data to rows with comma separated values from the cell tags it's a relatively simple stylesheet.

A quick search yielded this: XML to CSV Using XSLT With a few adaptations to your xml it should do what you need.
