FreqSpec and SchedXaction as QOF objects

[Neil Williams]

I'm considering making FreqSpec a genuine QOF object that can be exported 
directly to QSF and used in date repeat handling beyond the current 
implementation.

Specifically, I'd like to be able to handle FreqSpec within applications that 
use QOF as a library and export to QSF. Currently, I have to export the 
components of a frequency specification as individual integers and dates. If 
I give FreqSpec a QofObject definition and a QofClass parameter definition, 
it can be exported as a reference.

I've already tweaked gnc-date.c to handle UTC time and this will form part of 
the testing before these changes are committed.

This would make using FreqSpec much easier. At present, there is no way to 
export a FreqSpec distinct from the main data file - only a human readable 
string. I'd like to able to export a complete scheduled transaction in QSF as 
well as handle FreqSpec within QSF itself. That would add a useful export 
function for scheduled transactions. 

Comments? Problems?
