It's not *all* working yet, but take a look at
gnucash/src/scm/dates-qif.scm, recently checked in.
(checkdatemaxes) takes (essentially) a list of dates, and determines
which fields correspond to Day, Month, and Year.
Consider:
- Maximum of 12 months in a year.
- Maximum of 31 days in a month.
- Year 0 must be 2000.
A typical QIF file will have enough dates as to provide an unambiguous
result based on these three "rules."
If not, mm/dd/yy appears to be the most common default.
