May I suggest:

        typedef enum {
                GNCIMPORT_MATCH_PAYEE =3D 1,
                GNCIMPORT_MATCH_MEMO,
                GNCIMPORT_MATCH_CATEGORY,
                GNCIMPORT_MATCH_CLASS,
        } GncImportMatchType;

        Account* gnc_import_find_map_account(GNCBook*, GncImportMatchType);
        void gnc_import_add_map_account(GNCBook*, GncImportMatchType, Accou=
nt*);

State (where to store the maps) would be _useful_.   Different books
probably want different match-maps.
