[GNC] Change account type by editing XML?

[Dean Gibson]

Create a new account in the desired location, & then delete the old 
account.  When you attempt to delete it, there will be a prompt asking 
what to do with the transactions.  Select "Move to new account" (or 
similar verbiage), & then delete the account.
