Since this is not the first time someone needs this, we might want to
create some migration utilities to migrate data between netatalk and
other AFP servers.

If noone else has work in this area, I might be convincable to work on a
CAP->netatalk solution. However, please point me to CAP format
specification, since I am not familiar with it.
