World friendlier printable invoices

Dear Derek,
Attached please find replacements for invoice.scm easy-invoice.scm and
fancy-invoice.scm.
[The *-flex.scm files should be copied to their respective namesakes
in the proper location.]
The modifications include user editable invoice title name and tax
name. The total column heading reflects what the column actually is:
total minus tax. There is also a friendlier no invoice prompt included
which I see you have already fixed.

These additions in user input will make uptake of Gnucash more
palatable at least for users in English speaking areas such as
Australia and New Zealand where there are legal requirements for how
an invoice must be presented.  They circumvent the workarounds
mentioned here which are unrealistic for most small businesses:
http://wiki.gnucash.org/wiki/FAQ#Q:_How_do_I_change_.22Invoice.22_to_.22Tax_Invoice.22_as_required_in_Australia.3F
and will help the strugglers such as:
http://lists.gnucash.org/pipermail/gnucash-user/2007-May/020369.html

Note for example in Canada GST is not included in the total price but
in Australia and NZ it is. So, flexible column and subtotal tax names
and clarity in what is included in the total is essential for world
domination.

Please try the files and if no problems are found add them to subversion.
Perhaps the concepts in the program may inspire someone to make the
Gnucash invoice even more translatable? Any suggestions?
Cheers from your bleeding user,
