 WordPress used to preserve GUIDs when importing from RSS feeds.  (See
 [http://trac.wordpress.org/changeset/2193 Changeset 2193].)  Now that the
 importer uses wp_insert_post that no longer works, since that method
 [http://trac.wordpress.org/browser/trunk/wp-includes/post.php#L1105 always
 overwrites the GUID with the permalink].

 I haven't seen anything that suggests this was a deliberate change, and
 the RSS and WordPress importers still appear to determine posts' GUIDs so
 they can be preserved, so I have attached a patch against WP 2.3.2 that
 changes wp_insert_post to accept and use a guid if provided.
