Is there a quick way to transfer the "External Tool Configurations" from one Eclipse install to another?

It doesn't seem to offer an import/export setting...

I managed to copy my "External Tools Configurations" configuration (i.e. my Ant parameters and environment variables) from one workspace to another by copying .launch files in 

<workspace>\.metadata\.plugins\org.eclipse.debug.core\.launches
