After importing from a source board there will be internal and external links that point to the old URLS.
During the import the origional import id's are kept (for one import) so a redirect can be calculated to find the new user/forum/thread/post, by looking up the old import{$type}id.
ImpEx currently alters the table to add the import id, though a planned future version will have this separated so multi-import sites can be managed,

It is advised that $do_404 = false; is set so the 301 is sent with the new URL to update search engines.
The script needs setting up and customising to each site as the domains and URLs can be different.
