The Povanim script by jms does a good job. 
http://jmsoler.free.fr/util/blenderfile/pypovanim228_08g.zip

But it just exports mesh-objects at the moment, so you have to convert nurbs
and curve objects by hand before exporting.

BTW in the next days there will be a new Blender release: 2.30.
Some of the new features:
- new GUI
- loop cut
- face loop selection
- new knife tool
- most/all functions now via menues (no more weird shortcuts)
and much more

http://www.blender.org/
(the new version is in the CVS already, the official release will follow)

Give it a try!

Daniel
