[Using Sakai] for learning material

[Rashmi Maheshwari]

Hi Marsh,
We have worked on similar issue at Etudes and in our etudes-util 
project,there is a XrefHelper class which parses the content and for all 
embedded media translates the url and
changes it from old site id to new site id. We have included the call to 
XrefHelper methods on tool's transferCopyEntities().

I am pointing here for reference only and this work is not tested on 
Sakai 2.6 and higher versions,
thanks,
Rashmi
