It's here now:

It's a very quick job without much testing. Be sure you convert only 
copies of stacks, because it doesn't make a backup for you. If there are 
any problems, let me know.

I included a png file in the Linux folder so you could use it as an icon 
if you wanted. I want to tell that Python guy over on the Reddit forum 
that it took me about 15 minutes to lay out the stack, write the script, 
and build executables for three operating systems. (Of course, it took 
me 2 hours to make the app icon, which still looks pretty awful. I am 
graphically challenged. I know my limits.)
