>>force cmuImport to create a vsite

If you are migrating all the sites on a server at once, then you can do it 
by creating filler sites on the old server. The filler/placeholder sites are 
for the empty spaces left when deleting sites.

For example, if your old server has 100 sites on it, but the highest 
sitenumber is 120, then just create 20 filler sites like temp1.test.com 
temp2.test.com. That will fill in the gaps.

Then on the new server, make sure that you have no sites set up before you 
import.

Then when you import multiple sites, the site path will match on all sites.

Or, if you are just doing one site,  migrate as usual. Then just change the 
path in all files using something like

cd /home/sites/www.somesite.com/web

#perl -p -i -e 's/old/new/g' *

#e.g. for changing 33/site5  to 98\/site7
perl -p -i -e 's/33\/site5/98\/site7/g' *
perl -p -i -e 's/33\/site5/98\/site7/g' */*
perl -p -i -e 's/33\/site5/98\/site7/g' */*/*
perl -p -i -e 's/33\/site5/98\/site7/g' */*/*/*
