How do I turn my mountain bike into a road-ready bike?

I have a mountain bike (which I used to use off-road), but lately I've been doing more and more distance road biking. I know road bikes are lighter and easier to ride on streets than mountain bikes, but I'm on a budget and can't afford a whole new bike at the moment. Are there any adjustments I can make to my mountain bike to make it more road efficient (i.e.: certain tires, new seat, etc...)? Or am I better off forking up the cash for a new road bike?
