[TYPO3-commerce] api for import/export for products/articles, user and order data

Hi all,

does I understand right, that importing is done in 2 steps: first 
"normal DB". After this the FE works. Secondly generating the flexforms 
out of the "normal DB" and the BE works.

Is it not possible to generate the flexform always if the flexform is 
loaded? I thought this is the main feature of dynaflex. There can come 
some troubles if normal DB and flexform is not consistent (see for a 
case http://bugs.typo3.org/view.php?id=5724 , where the "normal DB" is 
filled right but not the flexform data, witch overrides after the 
"normal DB").

I could spend some time the next two weeks to test/document/program the 
import mechanism. If someone can send me existing code doing import I 
try to assemble it and document all.

Best regards
Andreas
