My unfinished Syncasaurus project [1] could convert your IE bookmarks to
Netscape or XBEL (and back again). You could then stick that into BKSite.
Assuming you grab the latest CVS, this would be the code:

  #!/usr/bin/perl -w
  use strict;
  use lib './modules/';

  use Bookmarks;
  use Bookmarks::IE;
  use Bookmarks::Mozilla;
  use Bookmarks::XBEL;
  use Log::Simple;

  my $bookmarks = load_bookmarks("/Windows/Favorites");
  print convert_to_moz_bookmarks($bookmarks);

Saving as "convert.pl", this would work on Dos/Linux:

   perl convert.pl > bookmarks.html

If you need any help with it, lemme know. It's unfinished code, but a
number of people who have been a fan of my AmphetaDesk have loved
Syncasaurus (psst! how do you like the logo? [2]).
