It stores the data in a gzipped sqlite database.  There apparently is an 
export plugin interface, but the source tree doesn't seem to have any 
actual export plugins.  So yeah, it probably falls into the "a bit more 
work category".  At least sqlite is a well-defined format with an 
interface library available.
