[GNC-dev] New balsheet (and P&L report), API considerations, and (slow?) KVP in Account.cpp

[Christopher Lam]

Hi Frank,

I would think if the multiple categories of accounts are desired, they 
should be designed in the Chart of Accounts rather than the balance 
sheet. At least this is what I'd design my book as, rather than trying 
to code various formulas in scheme.

I've rendered the same test book multiple ways.

Notice

1. according to the house accountant, the 'retained earnings' shouldn't 
be part of balance sheet, right?

2. balsheet-eguile and balsheet-legacy calculate retained earnings 
differently - should these be included???
