[GNC] Fixing bad Bayesian data

[Steve Cohen]

Thanks.

Seems like none of these solutions will work if your data is stored as a 
.gnucash file, they only work with .xml files.

Is there a way to convert this?

Is the Bayesian matching applied to entries that are corrected in the 
account editor, or is it only applied to entries made in the importer?

I am somewhat comfortable with the bleeding edge, but, when is the 
release of version 4 expected?
