Nope, sorry, not even remotely interested in doing this.

Actually, it'd be in .pdb format, not .prc.  It would read the .pdb
files directly synced from the pilot.  I'd leave it up to the pilotmgr 
gooroos to write a conduit, otherwise you'd just need to blindly overwrite
with an install each time.

My first cut is just going to be a GUI that reads and writes the .pdb
file directly.  If people start using something like that, then I'd
expect to create a demand for a pilotmgr conduit to sync between them
next.
