How do I move 301 redirects from IIS 6 to IIS 7?

I'm moving a site from Windows Server 2003/ IIS6 to Windows Server 2008 R2/ IIS7. Assuming it can be done, how do I move the 301 redirects from the IIS 6 installation to the new IIS 7 installation? (I'm surprised that I was not able to find an answer to this question either here or with Google.)

Edit: Or asked another way, what do large sites do about existing 301 redirects when migrating from IIS 6 to IIS 7? I only have a little over 100 redirects to migrate, but I don't want to manually reenter them into IIS 7, that's for sure.

Overkill IMO, but it works. Use the Microsoft utility, MS Deploy.

Here are some instructions and a download link:

IIS6 to IIS7 Migration

The tool will migrate an entire site. It's not clear from the examples given, but it is possible to migrate the 301 redirects only using the optional GUI.
