[wp-hackers] Moving Users to a New WP Site

[Dion Hulse (dd32)]

Keep in mind, That users will also loose their defined roles IF the  
database prefix changes (ie. site1_wp_* to site2_wp_*)..
To work around that, you can rename the usermeta's from  
site1_wp_capabilities to site2_wp_capabilites I think
