It's unfortunatly the only method (except for a script but that wouldn't be any better in regards to the issues you might have now - a script wont be able to fix those either as those issues are on MS' side).

If you simply want to show your nickname to your contacts, you could use the Personal Message for that, or instead of your real name, put a fake name (your nickname) on your Windows Live profile.
Although, all of this wouldn't solve the real issues people have with the removal of the display name (see that other thread I linked to).

A script wont be able to fix any issues you might have with the existing import/export feature either. Although the visible interface would be different, the underlying functionality would be just the same. So it would be just as good or bad, because a script does not have any influence on how contacts are added because that is all done on Microsoft's own servers. It would simply give the instruction to add a contact, just as the import function on your Windows Live Profile does. And it is there, on the Microsoft servers, where the possible problems that you might experience.
