[Building Sakai] Entity References Broken During Site Import: Solution Vote (KNL-737 or SAK-16568)

[Bryan Holladay]

So it sounds like it may be a good idea to mix parts of KNL-737 and
SAK-16568.  Have KNL-737 do all it's resources magic and use SAK-16568 to
handle entity references inside tools.  Would this be feasible/logical?
