the way i've always done this is to copy the db and then
generate the log i wanted that represented the differences
i was interested in.  i did to the extent of replicating the
/n/dump from a 32-bit file server onto a 64-bit file server.

(geoff did a great job on that.  not a single problem with
the 64-bit file server stuff in 7 years.)
