+Import PLC records into the Geni database. It is indended that this tool be
+run once to create Geni records that reflect the current state of the
+planetlab database.
+
+The import tool assumes that the existing PLC hierarchy should all be part
+of "planetlab.us" (see the root_auth and level1_auth variables below).
+
+Public keys are extracted from the users' SSH keys automatically and used to
+create GIDs. This is relatively experimental as a custom tool had to be
+written to perform conversion from SSH to OpenSSL format. It only supports
+RSA keys at this time, not DSA keys.
