I've taken a look at the xml export file, Its very similar to the xml 
file used in xml2, so conversion should be relatively easy. (also to the 
old gtodo format).
There is just one problem, The tasks doesn't have a unique id in the 
exported xml file, making synchronization very tricky and very error prone.

For gtodo2 I intent to make the backend modulair, so you can also use 
gtodo to open the task list of f.e. evolution data server, writing a 
backend that can work with the data stored in mysql by ackerTodo is then 
possible.

I hope this answers the question?
