Is there a standard utility for extracting (for example) the properties for water from memory and formatting as a raw file entry?

[Darkgamma]

But what would water be then? A material? A plant? An entitiy  ?

[IndigoFenix]

There is certainly a way.  I'm interested in seeing the new demon raws.

[Darkgamma]

Those are different (and easier to pull off)
You just need to disable save compression (in init.txt AFAIR) and dig around

There are two different reasons to extract material properties from memory, and different tools for each scenario:

1. Procedurally generated materials - these can be extracted from world.dat/world.sav using various programs (such as this script).
2. Hardcoded materials (e.g. glass, water, vomit) - there is a DFHack plugin "dumpmats" (included in the "devel" directory) which extracts them to something resembling normal raws, and the actual data for 0.40.02 is available here (which is what gets used on the wiki).
