Description
Move importers from core WP to the plugins directory. They are usually used only once and then forgotten. Removing them will reduce the size of the WP distro by 652k. Having them in the plugins directory will allow them to have their own release cycles.

Need to add the importers to the list of files to remove during auto upgrade.

We need to do something similar with the tools.php page as was done in r14759 for the Category/Tag Conversion! :)
- Cc pavelevap@… added
- Resolution fixed deleted
- Status changed from closed to reopened
Importers were moved, but what about localization of these plugins? There are several hundreds strings which were originally translated, but now they are not in WordPress and they are not in plugins. Translators work was simply deleted?
- Resolution set to fixed
- Status changed from reopened to closed
pot files will be generated and we'll work on a means of porting translations.

OK, thank you very much for info...
Add install links to import.php, define WP_LOAD_IMPORTERS so import plugins can conditionally load
