-developer] import CSV to an existing layer
Hi Nathan,

I don't think having three steps is a bad thing per se. To me the workflow
is a lot clearer, expandable, and fixable. This function doesn't belong in
the add layer dialogs because it's not their purpose. What happens if I
wanted to append a shape file to a MS SQL layer? This is why I think it
