Exportables module provides easy exportables for objects that normally can't be exported. Currently, taxonomy vocabularies are supported. It does this by the following:

The most important thing is the fact that it keeps track of machine-readable names for things that normally don't have machine names. It has API functions to create machine names and associate them with a type, ID pair.
On top of that, it provides a function to sync exportables in code to the DB - using hook_exportables, which defines the hook name, save functions, and other pieces of data about the type of item being saved.
Lastly, it provides a function to export an item given type and ID or type and machine name.
