New description:

 The Movable Type importer requires you to upload a file via a browser-
 upload form.  This is limited to 2Mb on many PHP installs.  Many MT export
 files are larger than this (I have one that is more than 50Mb).  It would
 be nice if there were also an option to upload a file with a pre-
 determined name (mt-export.txt) to {{{/wp-content/}}} and have that be
 used.  I think that's how it used to work.
