Hello Vladimir, it looks great!

Though I realize that I probably should move my program to a separate 
directory and write a readme, tutorial or something.

Should one include pointers to symbol converters, are there any ?
I looked around a little but haven't found anything except

 http://blog.mithis.net/wp-content/uploads/2007/04/eagle2geda.ulp

Erich Heinzle et al. have made https://github.com/erichVK5/KicadModuleToGEDA,
a kicad to pcb converter. Is there anything for kicad to gschem ?

 One can appearently convert to kicad with:
http://www.cadsoft.de/downloads/file/eagle2kicad-0.9c.ulp
http://sourceforge.net/projects/csvtokicad/
http://sourceforge.net/projects/pcad2kicad/
