ANNOUNCE: Auto Cap Gains, alpha 1

[Linas Vepstas]

The development CVS tree now has code that automatically
computes capital gains on any/all investment/commodity
accounts.  This can be done by selecting 'Actions..Scrub".
The results of this can be viewed in the registers or, better
yet, with the 'lot viewer' (click on 'Actions .. View Lots').

Not finished, but under development, are:
-- If a transaction is edited after the cap gains are computed, the 
   gains are *not* automatcally updated. This feature is in development.

Not started, not under development:
-- The report system does not use this feature yet, it should.
   This is a call for a volunteer to add a cap-gains report!
