Makes perfect sense to me, Leah. It's the banjo that makes it a hard question, because you can only get so far with a capo, and changing tunings makes such a difference in the feel of the accompaniment. That tunings site seems to be the best answer, and maybe the other (that has to be combined with the search for other tunings) is that we're forced to re-create the songs for ourselves, since transposition is not at all straightforward beyond a few frets. Either that or go in search of other songs entirely. (It's hard to abandon a good song, though. *snf*)
