 * I couldn’t get the GM import script to work so I did it the hard way: Greymatter
   to Movable Type to WordPress. There was some strangeness: even after massaging
   the data from the MT export, upon import into WP every other entry had no author
   despite all posts being by the same author, and for the authorless entries the
   comments were skipped. I ended up having to manually delete and re-import entries
   one at a time. On re-import (using the same datafile), the comments would show
   up.
 * If I’d known it was going to be so complex, I would have just built a data file
   from scratch, but I didn’t have any idea of what MT’s export looked like.
 * Also, does anyone know authoritatively when the import scripts were written? 
   I seem to remember reading somewhere that the GM to WP script was originally 
   written for GM to b2. If this is true, perhaps that info should go into the Codex
   with a YMMV disclaimer.
