The import machinery in ZODB/ExportImport.py provides a good example of how to rewrite OIDs. However, I am concerned that understanding that code requires a lot of experience with ZODB. David, if you want to tackle writing a tool that merges multi-databases by rewriting OIDs, it probably won't be easy, but I think you can count on help from this list. I also think the tool would be useful for others.
