What is the quickest, easiest, and most effective way to retopo this piece?

it's basically a rectangle, bent, flared, and has some regular and irregular holes through it.

   preferably without having to draw every single vertex.  (how do you get rid of those, btw?)  or every single quad.  i did hand-retopo one hole then duplicated it up the other holes, but then didn't know how to work it in with the flare at the bottom.

 

 

i tried autopo with various settings (love the new crease settings and tangent smooth for the sharp-edged stuff), but no joy, there.  and i tried drawing all the cross sections i wanted (strokes tool) and all the connecting lines, and the circles around the circular parts.  but no joy on that, either.

 

  is there a fast/easy way to take all the crossing strokes and tell 3dc that i want to turn the grid i drew into polygons?  :X
