 There were versions of WordPress prior to 3.1 that created non-unique
 GUIDs in the posts table.

 #15041

 This bug is fixed, but the bad data persists in many WP installs. Attached
 is a proof-of-concept plugin that could be included in the WordPress
 upgrade process to clean up these GUIDs.

 In the interim, I'll probably release this as a plugin as we've got some
 folks using tools we built that need this fix ASAP.
