Yes. We also want the import/export tools for any number of other reasons.

What would be need is a Python-based import/export that directly reads the
DB file and exports it as a relational model. When we import the stuff, the
relations get new keys, which then cleans up some of the numbering issues.
Any data that isn't referenced, simply doesn't get included.

(oh, and then there is that part about importing into a relational DB...)
