While Ken's approach was a godsend, it's now simpler and more robust to 
use the built-in object-imaging export option -- see my post from a few 
hours ago:

When Mark Waddingham rewrote the buffering routines for v2.7, he 
*really* rewrote them, with a strong positive side effect being the new 
capabilities of the export snapshot command.
