The .zexp files are Python pickles. The XML generated through export/import
is basically an XML representation of the Python pickle. The most straight 
forward solution would be to write a migration script for your stuff and 
not to look into pickles...but you can of course follow the pickle road if 
you like it the hard way :-)
