Bug in QIF importer

Hi,
Played around with the QIF importer in 1.6.4 today for the first time.

When importing into an already existing account that has a : in the 
account name, the importer creates new accounts. For example, my account 
tree (as relevant) looks like the following (Using '/' for the account 
seperator):
Asset/Cash/CBA: Water Sprite main
When I select that account, the importer creates an account called:
Asset/Cash/CBA/CBA: Water Sprite main
and puts the transaction in that account.

Perhaps we need to disallow ':' (or more generally, the account 
seperator character) in account names and/or make the QIF importer able 
to cope with this.

Conrad.
