Well, in my particular case its because I have some pages that I want to
migrate from an old site to PmWiki. The easiest workflow for me would be to
have a directory I could just upload the old .html files to, and have them
autoconverted for me.

The plan would have me immediately trigger the conversion after the upload,
and it would thus be a one-time delay even if some user manages to trigger the
event first.

I was looking at what it would take to do that, and it seemed that 90% of the
needed code was already in ImportText, but not in an easily re-usable form.
Hence my request.
