Summary:
Data File Column to Table Field Mappings based on Index or Header Row Name

Detailed description
I'd like to be able to define a mapping of Data file columns to Table Fields. I have some data coming from a source where I do not control the order of the data columns but it has a header row. It also has fields that i'm simply not interested in and would prefer to drop rather than import into my DB. Configuring the mappings in the config file (including an option to Ignore) would work perfectly. An addition to this would be to support mapping the columns to fields in multiple tables. I.e. i may have a data file with 10 columns. I may want 1-5 to be placed in table A and 1,6-10 in table B. This would allow for breaking data into more efficient groups during import. and generally make the tool more flexible.
