[bknr-devel] Problems with XML import/export, can't follow the tutorial

[Hans Hübner]

Hi Frederico,

first off, thank you for putting time into resurrecting the XML
import/export facility.  I'll happily review your patches and
incorporate them into the main line once you think that they work well
enough.

I really can't remember what my plans were at the time, so if you can
come up with an idea how the user interface should look like (or chose
either of the two), I'd appreciate it.  It may be that my wish to
change the interface was related to memory usage with larger stores.

Thanks!
