How to mirror animation on a character in XSI?

How to mirror animation on a character in XSI?

For example: character standing there waving with left-hand .... now you
want to inverse the animation and have the lil' guy wave with his right
hand?

Our animators have come up with some work arounds for simple (as above)
scenes... ie copy animation from one side to the other.  Then go to the
appropriate fcurves and choose flip in y at (the top) type in -1 and the
curve is exactly the same but on the other side.  This is useful for a
small amount of bones hoewver when the scene is more complex it quickly
becomes confusing.

What we are looking for is a way to mirror (symmetry) a characters
animation and then re-apply those numbers with the appropriate f-curves
inverted.

any ideas?

cheers,

Bryn
