I've now written a script that does this via XML-RPC. It's dead easy,
actually. It's however also slow, and looks like it takes at least
five hours. But that's to download all metadata, and there is quite a
lot of it. :) Syncing after the initial download is reasonably fast.

I wonder if the initial slow download is a problem? It certainly makes
it harder to run tests/queries on the complete dataset if you need to
wait a day before you can do it. But if you want to set up a
third-party service it shouldn't be great hindrance. It takes way
longer than that to develop the service. :)
