Upgrade many CS4 flas to CS5 XFLs using JSFL ?

Question

Hello,
This is my first post on these forums, even though I read many of them in the past. I work as a Flash developper for a e-learning company.
I'm using Adobe Flash Professional CS5 on a MacBook Pro with Mac OS X 10.5.8 (Leopard).
I've been happily using the XFL format for my work projects. I managed to save half of my 1000+ CS4 flas as CS5 xfls, and store them in my subversion source control system. Appart from some glitches documented elsewhere, I find it much easier to keep control of my various revisions now, as it fits nicely in my usual workflow.
With this amount of files to deal with, I'm a big fan of JSFL. I didn't find a way to open my document, and save it as ${filename}.xfl automatically.
Do you know any way to programmatically save a document as a XFL? I still have 500 files to go!
Thank you very much!

=================== My current workflow, in case you're trying to do the same =====================
Right now, for testing purposes, I use a workflow along those lines (into a folder full of flas, and only flas):
-----start
In JSFL, I open all CS4 flas in a dir and save them again in CS5 fla (check "don't ask again" when prompted)
Now all my CS4 files are CS5 fla files (meaning they are basically zipped XFLs).
# Find all files named xxx.fla (my own custom predictible xxx pattern) and make a dir with the same name without the 'fla' extension
find . -type f|cut -c1-14|sed -e 's/\.\///'|xargs mkdir {}
# Extract the flas to the newly created dirs
find . -type f |cut -c1-14|sed -e 's/\.\///'|xargs -I {} unzip {}.fla -d {}
rm -f *.fla
------end
This kind of works, and fills most of my needs, but I can't rely on it totally because, being French, some of my library items or folders have accented characters in them, and they show up like this, for instance:
soci+%AEt+%AE.xml instead of société.xml
If you avoid accented characters (and probably spaces and special characters also) in your library items and folders, it should work pretty well, though!
Good luck!

Educational versions are not eligible for ANY upgrade. (Read the license) So, no.
If you had the commercial version you could skip CS4 and jump straight to CS5, yes.
Realize Adobe no longer sells anything prior to CS6, upgrade or otherwise.
