Recovering BTC from wallet.dat file without waiting fr entire blockchain to load

I have a copy of the wallet.dat file from the bitcoin-qt client that I had installed on an old computer.  I know that that file contains my bitcoins.

Today I installed the client on my new computer because I want to use my bitcoins, but at the rate the sync is happening I think it will take a week or more to complete.

Is there any faster way that I can pull my bitcoins out of the wallet.dat file and use them?
