Some day in the future this might work better - but at the moment
there are still some issues with mod2osis.  However, this is possibly
the most straightforward solution.  Another is to either 1) use
imp2mod if that supports it or 2) put it in some sort of imp-like
format and use a regex parser, like sed, to convert that into a
minimal OSIS document.

I think that the current mod2osis, if you use the patches that are
available from somewhere on this list back in April, you might have
pretty good success.  It should produce valid, well-formed XML/OSIS,
but your mileage may vary, and we on the list would highly appreciate
any sort of feedback on whether it worked or what sort of bugs you
encountered.
