File based:
Step 2:

*) Filling of mime filter list on file dialog page
*) Loading of plugin previously looked up for handing specified file
Step 3:
*) Showing user all possible imports, eg all tables from a database
*) Allowing source specific configuration, eg range selection in a kspread document
Step 4:
*) loading import GUI plugin for destination kexi mimetype
*) Allow the user to choose how to import
eg for tables: import new table,
append data to an existing table
column remapping, renaming, ...
Step 5:
*) doing import
tables : handing the chosen configuration over to PiggZ's kexidb-import architecture
* : GUI plugin is responsible for importing directly or loading an additional, NON visual plugin
Step 6:
*) DONE
**************************
Needed facilities:
Page Interface: Wizard<-> Source plugin
Wizard<-> Destination plugin
Source interfaces: Depending on destination type, eg table import interface, report import interface, ....
