Description Jeremiah Lott CLA 2005-07-21 17:57:31 EDT 
The specifiction for the converters in bug #89872 it indicates that fromId and 
toId can be specified as regular expressions.  But in the actual implementation 
the ids are taking literally and must match exactly.  This doesn't make them 
unusable, but since you generally have a separate tool and/or toolchain id for 
every configuration, this means you must define a separate extension point for 
every one of these definitions, which will be a lot of nearly identical 
extensions.

Yep, the converter stuff is a bit of a mess.  Hoping we can fix that up in 7.0
