The u32 page is excellent, but I wonder if documenting the procedure here
would be worthwhile. Who knows, the remote site might disappear. But also
there are some variations on the approach that might be useful:
* using a python script and the dom library to extract the page names from
Special:Allpages (such as
<http://www.staff.ncl.ac.uk/jon.dowland/unix/docs/get_pagenames.py>)
* Or, querying the mysql back-end to get the names
* using WWW::MediaWiki for importing/exporting pages from the wiki, instead
of Special::Export
Also, some detail on converting mediawiki transclusion to ikiwiki inlines...
