import QIF from KMyMoney

[Martin Meyer]

It might be the number format i suppose.  Where are two enties from
the QIF output, one deposit and one check.

The date format is negotiable and it seems I can switch out , and . in
the output for separators.  What format is GnuCash expecting for this
stuff?
