Since nobody else has replied, I'd guess maybe you'd have
to program the conversion using some sort of script.  IIRC,
there's some sort of python interface to gnucash, and maybe that
could be used; however, that would require, I assume, a fair
amount of work in itself.  Also, I've never done this so
someone else who has done some python interfacing would
obviously know more.

BTW, this program:

https://pypi.python.org/pypi/piecash

has been mentioned before in this newsgroup.

Python guys?
