I have no idea how it does it, but it works. When I went from one iBook to its replacement, I simply copied the entire iTunes folder as-is from the old iBook onto an external HD (I had a few days without either iBook during the transition), copied it again into my new Music folder on the new iBook, and when I fired up iTunes, everything was there just as I left it. iTunes didn't have to spend time importing anything. I think even the play counts were intact.

To be fair, it could have been easy because I gave the exact same name to my new Home folder as I had on the old computer, so the pathnames wouldn't have been changed anyway. But still, that's how it worked for me.
