[GNC] QuickBooks to GnuCash Migration Script improvements

[Vivek Gani]

Hi,

I recently made some improvements to the migrations scripts that might help
those trying to migrate from Quickbooks to GnuCash:

Even if you're not using GnuCash the instructions for Quickbooks data
export might be helpful if you're trying to have a backup of data in a way
that's more accessible (i.e. for use in Excel, Libreoffice, etc.)


If anyone has time available, I think a possible improvement would be to
find a way to make a packaged 'download and run' migration tool so
non-technical folks can have an easier path for migrating data to gnucash
without trying to install gnucash with python bindings, etc.. This might be
possible with pyinstaller though the complicated part will likely be trying
to also bundle a gnucash with python bindings setup within there too, and
for each different operating system.

Linkbacks - these scripts were based on the LWN article 'Escape from
Quickbooks (with data in hand)' - https://lwn.net/Articles/729087/
