[Building Sakai] Change the Site URL

[Steve Swinsburg]

I can lend a hand, but the issue is the content won't be moved across
for all tools. So creating a method copyTool() for instance would be
misleading.

I think the best bet would be to setup some pre configured web content
tools, get them registered as 'tools', then add them to the relevant
sites (scripted of course).

Is it just the link type tools that you need copied?

cheers,
Steve
