If you can get a hold of the "checkpoint" and "journal" files, you could probably throw the client spec data into a few Pg tables, chuck a couple of constraints on it to confirm that it works the way you thought, and then get the information on what's where using a SQL query. The file images themselves can come from wherever, it doesn't really matter because there are MD5 hashes in the data tables you can use to confirm you got the right file. I haven't looked at importing the client spec because it's not important for the project I'm importing. But I'd be happy to provide pointers. >> I would not do that.
