And indeed that's exactly what I've done. :o)

I've now checked the MDB migration driver based on a patched 
mdbtools into KDE, so it's now possible to convert an Access
database into a Kexi database.

(Kexi is KOffice's package, and uses SQLite as it's native file 
format, see http://www.kexi-project.org/screenshots.html for
screenshots.  Kexi is also available on Win32, hence the patch I
posted earlier.)

Testing is welcome.  Building it requires installing Kexi from 
koffice/kexi in KDE CVS, then installing keximdb from 
kdenonbeta/keximdb.

Further information available at:
  http://www.kexi-project.org/compiling.html#get_sources
  http://www.kexi-project.org/wiki/wikiview/?MDBDriver
or send me a mail; or you could try IRC in #kexi on
irc.freenode.net


BTW, about those binary tags on files...
