AEXIM, the Attachment Exporter and Importer

This OpenERP module exports a selection or all attachments as files to a directory.

It can used for example, when there's already attachments stored in the database and you want to
install the document-module without loosing all the stored attachments (on OpenERP v5).
To achieve this follow these simple steps:
 1) Start export-wizard to write all attachment-files to defined directory
 2) remove all attachments from database.
 3) install the document-module
 4) create one empty attachment (else the import wizard isn't accesible)
 5) Start import-wizard to load all attachment-files from defined directory

The exported files have attachment-meta-data encoded in the filename, which consists of:
 * Attached Model
 * Attached Id
 * Attachment Name,
 * File Name

This way it can re-import the files as attachments with their meta-data intact.

NOTE: when importing the exported-attachment-files and the document-module is installed
      OpenERP will create these files again, but now in the ./bin/filestore directory!
      So effectively you'll need double the space on disk!
