 WP's Movable Type importer currently ignores the Keywords field in MT
 export files, which is unfortunate when you want to convert a client who
 wants to switch to WP, but isn't willing to lose their tagging system.

 I've modified wp-admin/import/mt.php to  convert MT keywords to WordPress
 postmeta rows as an "mtkeywords" field.

 This patch converts to postmeta rather directly to WP core tags because
 people use MT's Keywords field for all kinds of things besides tagging --
 I don't think we can safely assume that MT Keywords should be used as tags
 in WP. If someone wants to convert them to tags after import and they're
 using Ultimate Tag Warrior, UTW is able to convert postmeta fields to
 tags. Hopefully WP core tags will also have this ability.
