OK, my experience in this is limited, but whenever I've seen a "conversion 
routine from language A to language B" setup - the restrictions on language A 
(to avoid the parser being chronically complicated) are severe and the output 
in language B is "not user readable". I wonder if it would actually be easier 
to write the different init scrips/definitions manually - thus using the best 
features of each system without the compromises of shoehorning it al into one 
common meta script.

I can see a case for doing automated conversions on "simple" and generic cases, 
but I can't help thinking that many would be better done by hand.
