 * Below is a patch that will allow multiple new subcategories by having something
   like “Parent>Child>Grandchild” in the csv_post_categories column. It handles 
   spaces, etc and will do the right thing if you are importing into a existing 
   category.
 * Sorry if it’s a bit ugly, PHP is not my native language.
