> I'd like to turn this into into a dot file

Sounds like a reasonable idea.  With care, the source (text) file(s) can 
often be formatted in a way that's at least semi-readable. I assume this 
would ship with pregenerated images (PDF, SVG) so people don't have to 
install the port to render the graph?
