Only one of the three ISO4217 sources listed in google mentions the
Madagascar Ariary, and it appears to be incomplete/incorrect since it
calls it the ariayry (which I assume is a typo).

The currency information is compiled into gnucash so its not easy for a
user to change on the fly.  I can update the tables so the next version
of gnucash will contain the MGA, but I need more information about your
currency.  Is there a fractional unit for the Ariary such as the
centime, and if so, what percentage of an ariary is it.  Also, what's
the smallest denomination used.  One Ariary? (One centime?)
