b) if the new username already exists, the script will merge the usernames.
All the settings from the old username will be kept - except for the total posts number, which will reflect the correct totals. The title doesn't get reset though, so you may need to modify it manually.
PMs sent and received, address book entries, moderators, subscriptions, read receipts etc etc are all handled and reflect the new username.
