[GNC] Revising an old Gnucash file

[David Carlson]

I would develop a plan that would probably include some limited steps of
improvement with backups between steps.  Now that there is a way to export
and import transactions via CSV between files if there is enough
commonality to make it worthwhile for a few dozen transactions or so, at
least, that might fit in your plan.

I would not ignore accounts, especially asset and liability accounts, but
try to redefine the income and expense accounts to make more sense.
