The actual conversion is trivial.  Cleaning the resultant panels up can
take anywhere from zero to infinity hours.  It all depends on what you
want them to look like when you're all done.  If your guy is picky and
is making many customisations to each panel (or even combining panels)
then it'll take longer.  Is your guy learning Java, Javascript, HTML,
HTTP server, WAS and PC file systems at the same time he's trying to
learn how to use WDSCi?  If so, that's a one-time cost that you won't
have to pay on the next project...
