It's very straightforward.  Just needs a program to take the one file  
format and turn it into a different file format.  Just create a bunch  
of new nodes, connect them together with a way, then add the  
appropriate metadata for your renderer.  Number the nodes and ways  
with negative numbers.

Or come to my talk at SOTM (if you're here) on Sunday morning.
