 * Is there some kind of plugin or tool available to package a part of an WordPress
   instance and transfer it to another instance? This would be very helpfull if 
   a client would want to have separate environments for development, test, acceptance
   and production. In an ideal world, such a tool would be able to package all content,
   settings, custom post types, plugins, templates, etc that is needed for a release
   of the application but would not overwrite content + existing settings on the
   environment it is being transfered to (production or so).
 * A lot of high(er) end CMS products offer functionality for a multi environment
   scenario where new versions of the application are being built on a specific 
   environment and then being propagated to the other environments. The handling
   of all exceptions in such a process can be quite complex. In my personal experience,
   I’ve never seen a tool that covers 100% of the exceptions but there are tools
   that will make life a lot easier for you. Is there such a tool for WordPress?
 * Thanks,
    Erwin
