The commodities are created in the function
qif-import:update-stock-hash in qif-dialog-utils.scm.  The hash the
name refers to is a hash of QIF security name to gnc_commodity*; this
table is walked in the C code to build the druid pages.

Good luck, and let me know if you need any more specifics about how
the QIF importer works/doesn't work.

Thanks,
