Just committed the migrate_extras module. It basically adds a new tab on migrate dashboard called 'extras', which is where most submodules should put there settings. It adds 3 tweaks /settings.

1) Use a pre encrypted password. It will write the password directly to the database without re-encrypting it. Good for use in importing other CMS that already encryt their passwords.

2) Use all user fields. This will make all the core user fields available to the content set, useful for more advanced and drupal-to-drupal migrations.

3) Set UID explicitly. This adds a field to import users keeping the same UID, which can possibly overwrite existing users, so there are cautions about using it, but it can be very useful. This uid part is untested. I see mike just committed another version of this feature a few hours ago to the migrate module, which is safer, and probably smarter, so it's unclear if this feature will stick around.

Please review and test the dev release. More stuff is on it's way :)

3) is already being implemented by migrate now, so It's been removed (or at least commented out).

1) will probably be working it's way over to the migrate module, since this is more core functionality, perhaps 2 as well, but for now, marking this fixed.
