The main section was surprisingly quick, from what I remember (I did that... ages ago), since it's mostly a matter of figuring out which block matches up with the original block of CSS code.

Once you get that done, you do have to go back and make sure all the DW-specific elements are styled appropriately (mostly like, entry/comment interaction links and metadata in this case) and clear out what wasn't used, which on this one it took me about six hours today? I didn't think it was that involved, not compared to the 40+ hours I've spent on the one layout I've been developing from scratch. But uh, I'm not sure if I'm not just. Especially slow, either, so take that as you will, heh.
