Upgrading FormBrowser 0.2.3 to 0.3.1, view old browsers?

I have a number of forms that have been filled with good information that I need to present as historical info.
The problem is that I'd like to upgrade to the latest FormBuilder/FormBrowser to make use of the new functions, but when I try it the old formbrowsers are not accesible anymore.
Testing shows that the 0.3.1 FormBrowser only works with browsers created using 0.3 and if data is stored using the "*Save result for FormBrowser Module v.3" .

So what to do with all the old data just stored in the database?

Could there be a way of populating the "*Save result for FormBrowser Module v.3" for the old forms? This way I could "upgrade" my old data to be useful for the new FormBrowser.
If that's not possible I probabaly need to get my hands dirty in the database, but I can't be the first one with old data and a wish to use the new FormBrowser.

Sigh...
It looks like I have to create a XML response in the "cms_module_fb_formbrowser" table for each response in the "cms_module_fb_resp" table (with the attribues in cms_module_fb_resp_val" etc).
This will be fun... :'(

Damn, that XML format is bulky, 34k XML to store one response with 34 fields. :o

An option to create the 0.3 XML entries would be very useful.

I think an export function or something are worked on...
But don't know when this can be ready since all devs on this modules is swamped in work lately  :-(

(I won't / can't upgrade FB/FBr myself on some sites because of this)

I've started to play in the database to create XML responses for all the old responses, but it takes some contious time that isn't always available.
Export is one thing (which is already there), you would like an import function too (but that might be what you meant). :)
