Balance sheet report for multiple accounts

[Sébastien de Menten]

This is because I worked/saved the file in the sqlite format (SQL backend)
instead of the default xml format (sometimes zipped). The python package
piecash (which I am the author of) works only on the SQL backends.
If you open the file in gnucash and do a "save as", you can change the
format to xml and then you will be able to open it with emacs (with maybe
the need to unzip it before).
