I wrote a program a while back to generate all the entries for the starting items from tables. It might be easier to make a couple of mods to it and run it rather than make the changes by hand. I know TCS is using the table this creates.
Let me know if you would like the current version of the program or maybe I can fix it and run it for you and just send the sql file....
EDIT: the url for the message about the program is
