Duplicate Custom Object
I have a custom object with many fields. I need to make a second custom object which is almost identical. Is there some easy way to do this so that I don't have to use the web interface to add each field manually?

Using the command-line Force.com Migration Tool or the Eclipse-based Force.com IDE, you can retrieve your custom object as a metadata XML file, copy it to a new file and change its name/other content, and deploy it as a new custom object.

Why do you need to create an almost clone of the original custom object? Will multiple record types/page layouts make your life any easier (Enterprise or above)?
