                         server for e-mail addresses to add Bugzilla users
                         for. Will optionally disable Bugzilla users with
                         no matching LDAP record. Contributed by Thomas
                         Stromberg <thomas+bugzilla@stromberg.org>.

                         Bugzilla via XMLRPC.

                         installation.

       cvs-update.pl --  Script to keep a record of all CVS updates made 
                         from a given directory. The log is useful when
                         changes need to be backed out.

         gnatsparse/ --  A Python script used to import a GNATS database
                         into Bugzilla.

         gnats2bz.pl --  A Perl script to help import bugs from a GNATS 
                         database into a Bugzilla database.  Contributed by
                         Tom Schutter <tom@platte.com>.

            jb2bz.py --  Script to import bugs from JitterBug to Bugzilla.

      merge-users.pl --  Script to merge two user accounts. The activities
                         from one account are moved to the another. Specify
                         both accounts on the command line. The new account
                         must already exist. 

   mysqld-watcher.pl --  This script can be installed as a frequent Cron 
                         job to clean up stalled/dead queries.

           recode.pl --  Script to convert a database from one encoding 
                         (or multiple encodings)  to UTF-8.

      sendbugmail.pl --  This script is a drop-in replacement for the
                         'processmail' script which used to be shipped
                         with Bugzilla, but was replaced by the
                         Bugzilla/BugMail.pm Perl module. This script can 
                         be used if 'processmail' was previously called
                         from other scripts external to
                         Bugzilla.  See the comments at the top of
                         the file for usage information. Contributed

         syncLDAP.pl --  Script that can be run via Cron that queries an LDAP
                         server for users and e-mail addresses and adds
                         missing users to Bugzilla. Can disable/update 
                         non-existing/changed information. Contributed by
                         Andreas Höfler <andreas.hoefler@bearingpoint.com>.
