The Books export works by creating a folder with an XML file
containing the textual metadata and all the full quality covers in
PNG format.

An export plugin is simply a program that can read this XML and
extract the useful contents and write those contents out into a
custom file.

If you know what formats your Windows program uses, you might
consider installing Books 3, using the Books 2.0 import plugin to
suck in the contents of your old library into Books 3, and then
exporting that data using the Books Folder Exporter to get the folder
with XML and PNG files. You can then write a Python script or Java
program (or whatever floats your boat) to read that and write a file
that your Windows app can import.

Clear as mud, right?
