And yes: put the poor lad out of his misery, would you? I know that Calibre CAN do this--and that you can export an XML list from Calibre, of your own catalogue--but I'm not a big Calibre user, as you know. So if you'd kindly take pity on him and alert him to how to do that, or where he can find out best how to do that, we might finally put paid to this.

Well, since Sarmat wants everything to be all programmatic-like, I would probably recommend he take a look at `calibredb export --for-machine` in combination with a custom JSON parser for laying it out however he wants.
But you can also generate an automatic, stock XML catalog.
Convert books ==> Create a catalog of the books in your calibre library.
It can generate XML, CSV, BibTeX catalogs, in addition to EPUB/AZW3/MOBI ebooks.
