This begins to sound like a job for Perl. Of course, it would be nice if you could get someone familiar with the internal formats mysql uses to give you some hints, unless you are really good at reading source code. Back up the directory tree twice, and work on one of the copies, of course. And stay away from the beer until you're done.
