Well here is an even stronger indication that there need to be a smooth way to 
go from one backend to the other, should the backend idea ever take off: *I* 
have ~6000 images tagged myself, so *I* would need a way to convert 
backend ;-)

Actually the code for converting from index.xml backend to SQL backend already 
do work for SQL, it's just the rest that is kind of broken :-)
