I'm curious, could this also be used to import other gnc generated 
files?  One of the things I was trying to do recently was create a new
file for the year 2001, but keep the file for the year 2000 separate.

Since there's no real code for "closing" out a year, I thought this 
might be a good way to try and work around it.  I could end one year, 
export my list of accounts, open up a new year, etc.  Additionally, 
if I wanted to do yearly comparisons, I could maintain a third file 
which would be all the yearly files appended to one another in order.

It sounds like this might work, any comments?
