I have a pair of Python scripts that recode all the group, material and smoothing group information into materials for import into Wings, and then decode it back later. If anyone's interested, I can put those online. The decoder script does a number of other things at the moment, so I'd have to spend ten minutes to pull that stuff out first. But I'm happy to do that as long as I know it's of any use.
