[support] drupal 5 export nodes

[Marty Landman]

Jim,

I had about 10,000 nodes of a variety of content types in D5 that I 
had to import to a D6 site with redefined content types. What I ended 
up doing was writing custom code in PHP to extract the data as TSV 
files, and then used node_import on the D6 side. It was still an 
involved and time consuming process but worked pretty well that way. 
Saved tons of time over manual data input for the kind of volume I 
had to deal with.

hth,
Marty
