Well, presumably mix can parse its mixfiles? If so, then it might be
easiest to add an option to mix to generate a .sco file, *or* to dump
the mix file in a form that can be even more easily and reliably
converted by (e.g.) a perl script. Maybe that's what Dave was
thinking..in any case, it occured to me. :)
