I am not sure that gnucash is the right place for this. You may enhance the existing CSV-plugin in jGnucashLib where you have scripting and an infrastructure ment for bulk-imports at your disposal. Using eclipse and the eclipse-ve -plugin it should be possible to create a dialog to map csv-fields to their interpretation in a few hours and make it perfect with saving of named schemas (you are unlikely to import only once.) in a few days.
