).Ahem, anyway... You people might know the little handy tool called AE - VN Tools. The thing is I've finally got time to squash the most of nasty bugs and released my general purpose VN toolkit on GitHub.
Answering the question from the past: no, it does not support recent Ren'Py (approx. after 2011), since it was a brainwrecking challenge to write the partial Python's pickle implementation in Pascal, and no way I'm going to dig it again (sorry, MJ. I did my best, really ._.). However, it's now possible to directly submit code improvements to my GitHub repository, so go ahead.
Since I've started my own web-comic about a year ago, there's not much of development happens, so the help is much appreciated.
