Dear Christian,

Thanks for committing my patches. Actually, someone named David T.
(sunfish62 at yahoo.com) did help me test this with TurboTax so there
have been at least two of us (three with you?) who have looked at it.
Perhaps those who routinely build trunk in the US can just run the
report on their existing data now that it's in there and easy to do so
we can get more feedback.

Also, while David was helping me test the report, he helped me find
what I would consider a UI inconsistency that initially caused my
report to bomb until I fixed it. That is that you can set an account
as 'tax-related' in the edit account dialog and then not assign it a
tax code using Edit->Tax Options. I will submit a separate patch for
this in a moment.

Thanks again,

Alex
