I am adding more to the config file to enable direct import of csv files, 
but there are so may different csv download formats;  every financial 
institution seems to have their own version!  I'll deal with the most 
common options first such as lack of a header file (eg WellsFargo bank 
downloads) and differing column header names.  The Python importers I have 
seen all work along these lines, but I am just no where near as proficient 
in Python programming as I am with cpp and go.
