Dwarf Fortress to minetest world converter?

There is a minecraft to minetest world converter, so why not develop a Dwarf Fortress to minetest world converter? Dwarf Fortress worlds probably will look awesome.

That seems like good idea. But, Dwarf Fortress has much more nodes than Minetest has. Maybe, we will convert it just into "stone" or "tree"?

I guess you could make that each tile in Dwarf Fortress equals a 3x3 area in Minetest. That would keep the areas usable, sort of. 4x4 would be better tho

I think 2x2 will be enough for the node. Remember, workshop in dwarf fortress is 3x3, so they will be to large if we will use 1x1 to 3x3 or 4x4 conversion.
Also, specific nodes that are not present in minetest could be turned into special construction made out of nodes present in minetest.

I suppose you could use DF2MC to convert from DF to MC, and then mcimport.py to convert from MC to MT.
