Moving Lists in SharePoint

Question

Does anyone know how I can move a list from one sub site to another, but retaining all content, including version history?

Saving as a template doesn't work, I'm not able to use sitemanager.aspx, as my company has a policy to have Publishing Infrastructure de-activated.

Any ideas?

Just create a web part that can sit on the site with two controls where a user can type in a list name and press a button and inside the web part code you can copy and paste the list with exactly same contents to a required location.

Hope this helps you..
