In my view, the A/R and A/P accounts are part of the core (they are
just specialized Asset and Liability accounts).  I think that a
Personal A/P should be possible without all the extra Invoice crap,
however I need to figure out how due-dates would work in that
situation.

My hope is to provide multiple ways to enter transactions into A/P.
For the personal user they would use A/P like any other account, but
for businesses there would be a more formal process to keep track of
the intermediate steps.  The only issue, as I mentioned, is how to
keep track of the due date.
