There already exist at least one web-app that do this for some wikis
(DW and mediawiki and some others). The real problems stem from the
different wikis capabilities not matching particularly well, so any
such script can only do a very basic conversion. No, I don't remember
the adress, sorry. Wasn't worth it:-). And there is the wikiconverter
cpan module.... Haven't used that one though:).
