Consolidation / Merging of 3 Jira instances into one

Hi all,

What approach to do you use to merge multiple jira instances?   What has worked well and where should I be careful?

I have three instances that I want to combine each with it's own custom fields, plugins, workflow structure and way of naming users.   I expect the following to be my key areas of difficulty:
* user names
* global settings (e.g., priority / resolution)
* custom fields
* plugins
* workflow

Plugins can be handled by a quick survey and then installing the "best" set on the receiving jira.  Users name I can handle by creating a mapping file and modifying the export XML prior to project-import.  

Custom fields, global settings (resolution/priority) and workflow reconciliation seems the most difficult pieces of the puzzle.  Does anyone have jelly scripts or other tools to help with this reconciliation?

Thanks for the help

Peter
