The actual conversion is trivial.  Cleaning the resultant panels up can take
anywhere from zero to infinity hours.  It all depends on what you want them
to look like when you're all done.  If your guy is picky and is making many
customisations to each panel (or even combining panels) then it'll take
longer.  Is your guy learning Java, Javascript, HTML, HTTP server, WAS and
PC file systems at the same time he's trying to learn how to use WDSCi?  If
so, that's a one-time cost that you won't have to pay on the next project...
