Any I don't think we all reinventing the wheel... Other than Marcello's stuff, I don't see ANY body's wheel out there. I'm working with what I have available.
You've nailed the problem dead-on. Nobody is providing any tools or converters for this, and hence, everyone is forced to reinvent their own version of the wheel. And because they had to do it themselves, they don't care to release it (or are embarrassed because of the quality of their own code), compounding the problem for everyone else. There is a real, documented, psychology behind this, and I think this stumbling block is really causing a lot of fracturing amongst the rest of the potential contributors out there, myself included.
