I've realised during the testing, that the exporter doesn't differentiate
between accounts and categories when faced with a transfer.  I decided to use
the QIF approach, and enclosed the account name in [ ], which would be stripped
during import. 

 I then realised that the importer also doesn't differentiate.  I was at the
point of modifying the importer, to remove the [ ], when it occured to me that
that wasn't such a good idea, as a user importing a completely different style
of CSV file probably wouldn't differentiate in the same way.  In fact, assuming
that most non-investment CSV files would come from a bank, which would have no
knowledge of the KMM account structure, transfers probaly would be few and far
between.

So, a possible alternative which would put the user in control, would be to
allow him/her to choose different columns for categories and accounts when
importing.  The consequence of that is that the exporter wouldn't need to
differentiate either, leaving it for the user, when importing to allocate
columns as required.

Any thoughts?
