I don't think there's any direct converters out there going either way. In
principle (practise maybe not) it shouldn't be too hard to do so long as you
have the read-write libraries. LXF files and the conversion file are just XML
(zipped with other stuff for LXF) so that side of things is dealt with in
standard libraries.
