Converting StarDict (and other) dictionaries to iPad (to use with iBooks)

It seems it's possible to convert StarDict and Lingvo dictionaries to the iPad format.

http://translate.google.com/translat...92918/&prev=_t (Russian - English translation by Google)

Instead of editing iPad's plist file you can use DicSelector to switch dictionaries: http://netherlandsdaniel.blogspot.co...naries-in.html

How about StarDict dictionaries? The procedure seems to be the same as on Macs: use DictUnifier http://davidtse916.wordpress.com/200...on-in-leopard/

Thing is how do I convert a StarDict dictionary if I don't have a Mac? Could someone make a script/program that would run on Windows? Please!

Note: jailbreak is required.

Edit: the dictionaries can be used with iBooks.

Edit 2: There's some kind of a StarDict-Mac-Dictionary converter written in Python: http://code.google.com/p/mac-dictionary-kit/

No idea how to use it though.
