[PATCH 0/3] A couple of stylesheets to aid account hierarchy development

Hello everyone,

been a happy GnuCash user for years; thanks for giving me (and
countless others) an enormously useful piece of software. This is my
first submitted contribution, albeit a really humble one.

The two XSLTs contained in the patch set are meant to aid the
development of new account hierarchies. Not knowing where else to put
them, I came up with a new subdirectory in contrib named "xslt".

* gnc2xea.xsl takes an uncompressed regular GnuCash file and creates
  an account hierarchy template from that, substituting values given
  in parameters for gnc-act:title, gnc-act:short-description and
  gnc-act:long-description.

* acctlist.xsl takes either an uncompressed regular GnuCash file, or
  an account hierarchy template, and outputs a comma-separated list
  containing the account number, name and type. It is meant for
  allowing someone who is not GnuCash savvy but knowledgeable in
  accounting to review a GnuCash account hierarchy easily.

* The third patch simply adds contrib/xslt/README containing an
  extended description of both style sheets, and updates
  contrib/README with a cross-reference.

I hope this is useful. Any and all feedback would be much
appreciated. Thanks!

Cheers,
Florian
