where we could run "extract-data.pl my-gnucash-file.gnc" which would
create
my-gnucash-file/data
my-gnucash-file/budget
my-gnucash-file/recurring-transactions
my-gnucash-file/someuser.lock
or even click a certain "extract data" button from within gnucash, I
guess.

oh, I think that is a great idea, especially if it makes it easier to
