Well if you want I can slap a 1.0 version string on an rpm and send it your way
:-)
Seriously though the tentative date is April 6th barring the discovery of any
major bugs.

Probably the best conversion tool you will find looks like this:
% dump
% mkfs.xfs
% restore
Any in-place conversion tool would be very difficult to implement and wouldn't
give much bang for the buck.
Some brave soul may want to take on such a programming challenge but the SGI
XFS team
have no plans to do such a utility.
