FTR: I'd like to see this infrasture used for the QIF importer, too...
According to grib the qif-io-core is better than qif-import, so we'd
need the UI for it..  So, it is looking like it needs to be _very_
generic to work across QIF, OFX, and HBCI.

PS: I can also imagine using the same infrastructure for CSV or even
XML import..
