change bundle identifier but keep preferences

I have a Mac OS X Cocoa app. I want to be able to change its bundle identifier for a future release, but retain the preferences (bundle identifier in ~/Library/Preferences). I'm blanking on how to copy those over on launch into a preference file with the new identifier. I want to make it invisible to the user, so that their settings are the same on launch of the new app without knowing it's a new id/prefs file.

Thanks!

Seems like you ought to be able to do it with a combination of CFPreferencesCopyKeyList() and CFPreferencesCopyMultiple().
