each svg element corresponds to a shape. i don't know of a library to convert from vml to svg, but i have used this library
http://code.google.com/p/svg2vml/ to do the opposite, ie, write svg code and have it translated into vml. I'm sure you could work out your own solution if you read the script, there's really nothing that complicated in there -- you could even submit it back to google code!
