Allow column merging in CSV imports

#198

from e-mail:

Since a couple of weeks I have some issues with the import of csv-files. I don't know whether my bank has changed the export or moneyGuru its import function. Probably the former because my bank has change its online appearance.

However, the issues is that I can't import the "Description" of the transactions properly any more. It seems to me that is related to the fact that my bank exports the descriptions in "tranches". That means a description could be cut into several pieces. Please, take a look at the example file I have attached. Every field called "VWZ1" to "VWZ14" could be a part of the description (VWZ means Verwendungszweck what means description in the English version and "Beschreibung" in the German version).

Could you imagine a solution for this problem? For example, could it be possible to import several description fields and put them together in moneyGuru?

At first, I wanted to allow column merging by drag & drop, but I think that allowing more than one Description and Payee column to be set is the easiest and most straightforward solution for now.

    (from [40fdad7d15fb]) [#198 Allow column merging in CSV imports state:fixed] Added the ability, in the CSV options panel, to define more than one description and payee column. When that happens, these columns are merged together. http://bitbucket.org/hsoft/moneyguru/changeset/40fdad7d15fb/
