Okay yes, I will definitely get back to you if anything changes.  However, I 
can tell you the earliest I'd be
able to look into improving the GIS import in CAVE would be this summer, most 
likely.  

One other idea...is it possible to change the default output of Arc?  Perhaps 
you can change the default way
they're saved, and then you won't need to reproject again to get into CAVE?  
But, that may affect other things
if you're using those files for other workflows I suppose.
