Question : VS 2003 Project to VS2008 Project and Converting Windows Forms to Partial Classes

We have a Visual Studio 2003 (1.1 framework) windows forms application we will be converting to Visual Studio 2008 (3.5 framework).
When you create a new form in VS 2005/2008 it splits the code files into two parts: the .vb and the Designer.vb code files. Part of the project conversion will be to use partial classes to split our forms in this same manner.

When we open the solution in VS2008, the wizard runs and everything is converted correctly. The solution compiles and runs and we're relatively happy with the results. However, it doesn't convert the windows forms so they use partial classes. While this has no effect on the application, it sure would be nice from the developer's perspective if we could split all of those forms (there's nearly 1,000 of them).

I found reference to a tool that someone had written at the end of this post:

But the link is broken and I cannot find a copy of it anywhere to evaluate it.

There is all kinds of help for getting this done with ASP.NET forms, but nothing for Windows Forms. Does anyone have a solution to automate this conversion?
