 In the process of documenting the 3.0 admin menu changes so I can upgrade
 my plugin, I ran across the following issue:

 Users with the Editor role are shown the link to the Categories and Tags
 Converter (wp-admin/import.php) on the Tools page, the Categories page,
 and the Post Tags page. Clicking that link from any of those pages shows
 the "You do not have sufficient permissions to access this page." error.

 The capabilities listed in wp-admin/tools.php for this is
 '''manage_terms''' which an Editor can do (add/edit cats and tags), but
 wp-admin/import.php requires the '''import''' capability.

 Is the Editor role supposed to have access to this or not? If not, then
 those links to the Categories and Tags Converter need to be removed.
