[X4U] Can one convert OS 9 comments to OS X comments?

Yet another indication that Apple released half-baked software with Tiger.
To advertise Finder comments by putting them in the "Spotlight" of their
grand new search engine implies to the user that this is a good place to
store metadata for a file. Only to find these metadata gone with the next cp
or mv and probably rsync etc., too. Not good.
