[wp-hackers] WordPress Importer (Cross-Post)

I don't even care if it is from different versions, I'd just be happy  
with the ability to import my two dead blogs into my current undead  
(semi-alive?) blog and move forward. Trying to do a manual combine  
stinks, especially since certain categories exist across blogs.

Oh, and I don't know if it is possible in 2.01, but I do find it  
annoying in 1.5.x that category names are globally unique. I do  
understand some of the reason for it, but I would really like the  
ability to create something like:

Work
	Code
	Design
	Hammer and Nails
Fun
	Code
	Design
	Comic Books

as a category structure
