Starting imports from filesystem via other mechanisms

Hi,

I want to do bulk imports of various .mbox files from the filesystem,
mainly for performance reasons.
The files are already in place, all that is left to do is to start Zoe's
import process...

At the moment, I see 3 different possible solutions:
- "reverse-engineer" the form and use HTTP POST
- use XML-RPC  (is this documented somewhere? Where?)
- write a smallish Java program that does starts the import

>From what I can tell now, 
- the first possibility is the ugliest (but probably the fastest)
- the second sounds cool, that is, IF I can find docs on the XML-RPC API
- the third possibility would probably be the most useful for me, but
  would probably take the longest time (figuring out which classes to
  use, setting up the context for those classes etc.)
  While I'm at it, I could probably write a command line option for Zoe
  that starts the import process...
  Also, I could get rid of the need to place all .mbox files (huge!)
  in ~/Library, which is on an NFS server (slow!)...

Can anyone give me some hints which direction I should take?
Or maybe tell me that this has already been done? ;-)

TIA,
	Michael.
