  Yes, there are presumably copyright considerations to observe concerning
the files themselves.  But there would be no such restrictions on
sharing your conversion algorithms with people on the list, would there?

  I for one would be quite interested in seeing what approach you took
(however ad hoc it may be), since this would offer a technique for
making all sorts of things  available through the xjdic interface.
