True, but I think that asking the user to define an entire additional
additional set of categories for budgeting is asking for trouble.  I
believe I've seen talk of associating a "category" with every transaction
in addition to the account info.  If budgeting could be folded into this
category specification, then we're golden, but if not, adding budgeting
category information on top of this would be unwieldy.

One thing may be to just ask the user how much will be transfered to/from
each account, regardless of the account's categorization or whatever.
It seems to me that this would give you a lot of generality with very
little effort in setting things up (for the user).
