Is it possible to supply pre-filled Category during CSV import to a new account?

[Peter J. Farley III]

In kMyMoney 4.7.2 or 4.8.0 on a Win7-64 system, is it possible to
supply pre-filled Category values during CSV import to a brand new
account?

I cloned a copy of the kMyMoney source from the git repository and
took a look at the CSV import functions, and it appears to me that the
code only supports using pre-existing Category values associated with
pre-existing Payees to determine the Category.

The CSV file I want to import contains almost three years of
transactions with 132 distinct Payees (post-processed after download
for Payee and Memo consistency; banks are horrible at consistency).
If I am willing and able to pre-fill my CSV transaction file with
kMyMoney Category values for each transaction (gleaned from a *.kmt
file export), would it be possible to use those values instead of the
heuristics now in place to try to discover one?

I tried to figure out how to support my own request by seeing what
changes to the CSV import code it would take, but C and other
sequential procedure languages are my forte, not C++.  Classes and
method invocations are still strange territory for me, and thus
somewhat difficult for me to decipher.

I *think* all that is needed is to update the CSV file import column
selection logic (and window) to add a new input field for a Category
column, and if one is supplied then use the value from that CSV column
(probably with some validation logic to ensure it is an existing
active Category) instead of using the existing search logic, but I got
lost trying to figure out how to do all that.

TIA for your help and any advice you may have to offer.
