[GNC] import map editor

[Eric Theise]

I appreciate Stefan raising this issue. I have the opposite issue; not an
empty editor, but an editor full of "Map Account NOT found" and
"Unspecified" lines. Geert Janssens suggested that my import maps have been
corrupted as the most recent comment in my bug filed at
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=794690 and, having just
installed 3.1.3, I'd like to make a go of fixing them.

A few questions.

* is there documentation somewhere that explains the format of the "Match
String" and what it's matched against?
* is there any reason not to delete the dozens of lines whose "Mapped to
Account Name" is "Map Account NOT found"?
* is there any reason not to delete the dozens of lines whose "Mapped to
Account Name" is "Unspecified"?
* is there any way to edit, as opposed to delete, a line or am I expecting
too much of the "Import Map Editor"?

Thanks, Eric
