how to export skype contacts

Yes there is, and yes it's infinitely more simple than the amount of time I spent looking for the solution would lead you to believe. I've been searching for the last 6 1/2-7 hours and have finally found a do-able solution.

Summary
You're going to get an Extra from Skype that allows you to export your contact list as a .csv, import that into Microsoft Address Book, then sync that with your iPhone.

Version Information
For reference, I'm using Windoze XP SP3, iTunes 9.0.0.70, Skype 4.0.0.206 and an iPod Touch 3.1.2 jailbroken with BlackRa1n, though there's no reason this method won't work on every Windoze XP/Vista/7 computer, any Skype compatible with "Contacts Manager," an iTunes version that supports iPhone syncing, and any iPhone/iTouch.

Instructions
Go to Skype, Tools -> Extras -> Get Extras -> Miscellaneous -> Contacts Manager. Download it, then once it shows up in your "My Extras," click on it's green arrow/play button thing, select all the contacts you want to export, then click "Export." You'll have to name the file and choose it's extension (file type); choose csv.

Then, go to your Microsoft Address Book by clicking Start -> All Programs -> Accessories -> Address Book. There are two tree options in the left panel, "Shared Contacts" and "Main Identity's Contacts." I'm not sure what they mean, I clicked on "Shared Contacts," then went File -> Import -> Other Address Book, then clicked on the last option in the last called "Text File (Comma Separated Values)," and of course that's what .csv stands for.

Then, go to iTunes, plug in your iPhone, select it from the left panel, click on the tab on the far right that's called "Info," select the option to sync with Windows Address Book, hit "Apply" in the bottom right, and you're done!
