Nothing prewritten -- how could a program guess what you want to do?
But this XSLT script will do it.

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"
                 version="1.0">

   <xsl:output method="text"/>
   <xsl:strip-space elements="*"/>

   <xsl:template match="NameValuePair">
     <xsl:value-of select="name"/>
     <xsl:text>=</xsl:text>
     <xsl:value-of select="value"/>
     <xsl:text>&#xa;</xsl:text>
   </xsl:template>

</xsl:stylesheet>
