It would seem best, imho, to rig at the lowest common denominator and then take it into your software package of choice and WM it.  But that still seems like a lot of extra work just to support two versions of one figure.

Since both DS and PP2014 support weight map projection, it's probably pretty easy to export a non-weight-mapped version (or even something with default joint-centers) and then project the weight maps from the Dawn-DS or Dawn-PS model to get a running start at "native-izing" the weight maps.  

At least until someone writes a weight-map translator which can navigate the two systems (it would be imperfect due variations in weight-map interpretation of the apps, but closer than pure projection from the source figure.)
