First attempt to migrate data

			This has produce a system with records from the ep2 imported. I have not yet tested to ensure they have migrated correctly, but progress has been made!

			Migrating config: Migrating the config and wording (mkconfig.pl) looks useful for those who have made major changes. However we made a few changes, to wording, to allow LDAP user types, to add wording for bibtex import etc. So much of this has been over taken by EP3, and add to that the fact the migration basically reverts much of the superior ep3 setup back to a EP2 (e.g. the deposit process). At this stage I suspect I will not overwrite the ep3 cfg files with those from the migration tool. Instead customising ep3 as required. The tool is still useful however, as I can use the cfg files it produces (in its own directory away from the actual eprints installation) to cut and paste segments of code as required.

			== Ubuntu / system packages Part 2 ==
			Since I started this process (which has come in very small bursts with big gaps in-between) it looks like http://wiki.eprints.org/w/Installing_EPrints_3_on_Ubuntu_6.10 has been updated. Excellent, looks like it is recommending some packages which I will install now.
