[kronolith] Import / export design

The CSV driver is the first import/export driver we ever had. The Palm
driver is also there but hasn't been ported to the Horde_Data framework.
Tested patches are welcome.

That's already there.

We already have a driver style framework for this. Just add any driver that
you want.

data.php does only the user interaction. Everything else is done in the
Horde_Data drivers.

I have no idea what code you're looking at, but everything you said is
already implemented for months or even years.
