I've just spent the last week doing that in a python program.
Requirement was to convert an e-book from version x to version y.
Needed all the same filenames, variant (transformed) content.

rename original to .bak
transform xxx.bak to xxx.xml

'transformInPlace' was the function name.
  
That's the use case anyway.
