While this may not be a fancy nor a quick-to-implement solution if you didn't keep track of your updates as you went, I do find it works 100% of the time. It only requires me to run 1 SQL and 1 batch file after updating to the latest and greatest PEQ distro.
Every "customization" I have on my server is typed into notepad and now consists of over 25,000 entries. All it needs is updating as new database changes come out with the server code or if I want to add new content. The batch file copies all my custom quests from my custom content repository into the appropriate quest folders in the PEQ quest folder.
I decided on this approch after re-typing my customizations a few times and said never again! It took some effort to type it all in the first time, but saves soooo much time now that it's well worth the day I spent creating the file/query. It now only takes about 5 mins after I update the DB to PEQ's newest to have all the custom content back in place.
