I'm not exactly sure why you want such conversion tools.  It's very
easy to write a little Python script to hack on or inspect config.db
(see bin/dumpdb), but I'm not even sure why you'd want to do that
either.

Suffice to say that /eventually/ config.db will go away because all
this information will live in a real database.
