I don't believe their are any goodies to help convert VSE GUI's to Dolphin
GUI's. However,
Synchrony Systems (
http://www.sync-sys.com) has their SMT tool which could
be used to migrate the GUI's. It has been used mainly for migrations to
VisualAge, but I think they have done at least one migration to Dolphin.

Dolphin 5 has the Refactoring Browser integrated in it. The Refactoring
Browser has a rewrite tool that could help migrate your code. The rewrite
tool has been used for several migrations. In fact, it is used by the SMT
tool to do its code transformations.
