There are few scripts and they should work more or less ok. I had problems
running the conversion script, and i would advise against it - i mean, if
it works on your config - great, but i had a lot of problems on my end so i
eventually did things by hand.

Really, the best way is to do things from scratch, as you will end up with
considerably more compact configuration. I spent some time migrating
monitoring setup, but the services that were duplicated were ported over
very fast. That was actually the 80% you refer to. The unique ones,
per-host are what's the time-sink during the conversion, and i am still
checking for those.
