import and retopo tools? - www.cgcookie.com/articles/2008/11/29/retopology-tools-with-blender

Enter EDIT mode select the tri polys and use any of these methods:

   1. Under the MESH TOOLS tab select JOIN TRIANGLES

or

   2. In the 3D window header select MESH then FACES from the drop-down and select Convert triangles to quads

or

   3. Use ALT J after selecting the tris if you are comfortable with the hot keys.
