After having actually having implemented the import/export conversions it makes 
a little more sense why you didn't want to put this in the source tree since 
it's kind of an ugly bit of code.

You don't need to rekey those tables.

You can use hashes of the strings.  Or you can build a dictionary to use at
the import/export points.
