Generic Import Transaction Matcher empty - revisited

[James Roman]

I think that mine is a little bit more difficult to fix. The date
identifier worked for the initial import, but none after. I did an
export from another bank account for my business. After viewing the 2nd
bank export, it became clear what the problem was. My 1st bank exports
do not have valid <FITID> entries. These look like they should be unique
numbers (and fairly long at that). In the export files that I have, the
numbers correspond to the number of transactions in the export file
(I.E. transaction 1 has FITID=1, etc.)

Since I don't expect my bank to fix this problem soon, I'll have to come
up with an way of modifying these numbers to make them unique. Ideally,
I should probably come up with a way that if I exported overlapping date
ranges, it would identify them as the same transaction. Anyone have any
suggestions how I might accomplish this?
