Thanks for the tip. I tried SMWWriter, and it seems to have a few problems:
- it introduced spurious \n s into any page it touched, causing much havoc
with templates
(this may be a OS compatibility issue, I'm running on a Mac)
- it wouldn't rewrite a field in a template
Looks like it's not quite ready for prime-time, but it's a start.
