You can write a pretty simple external method to walk your Zope object
heirarchy looking for DTML Methods and DTML documents, then altering the
syntax. Shouldn't take more than an hour to write and debug and test and
document, if you've written stuff in Python before.

I'm off to a meeting for a few hours, but harrass me later and I'll send
to the list a proof-of-concept external method to get you started.
