[GNC-dev] Budgets: showing total-to-date in budget period, and previous month totals only

[Phil Longstaff]

Hi Chris,

I am running 3.1 and it works. The only comment I have is that the 'Bgt',
'Act' and 'Diff' headings are left-justified and look a bit strange. I
think center- or right-justified would be better.

Thanks for doing this.
Phil
