Common presets folder for PPro and AME?

Question

This has been driving me a little bonkers: when you create an encoding preset in the PPro export module (before AME launches), that preset is not available as an applicable preset from the AME interface. The opposite is also true: design a preset in AME, and it doesn't show up in the PPro export module.
I'm aware that you can import one program's encoding presets into another (.EPR files), but this seems a bit clunky. Is anyone aware of a way to use a common folder to share presets between these two apps? Or am I doomed to a lifetime of aimless preset importing (dramatic soap opera music sweep added for effect)?

Craig,
"PPro export module" is a "for lack of a better term" description of what you see when you execute File > Export > Media from the PPro interface. It's what launches before the sequence is sent to AME for encoding, and where you set up your encodes parameters or apply a preset. It's these presets that are confounding me, in that ones I create in this interface are not directly available in the AME interface. Seems a little silly, since both modules/interfaces/whatever create preset files with an .EPR extension that can be imported into the other, but are otherwise not directly accessible. I create dozens of different export presets, so for housekeeping purposes and preservation of sanity purposes, it would be nice/awesome/logical to have a common repository for these shared presets. Hardly anything to get all in a bunch about, but it's one of those enhancements that would make life a little easier.
That all said, I think I might have found the solution, but I didn't discover it until late on Friday, so I'm waiting until tomorrow to fully kick its tires. I'll post back if it works, as I suspect a limited subset of other users might find this helpful, as well.
