Opening customer balances with new file

[Derek Atkins]

You should use the "Close Book" API which will keep the old data
around so you shouldn't have to re-enter it.   Note, however, that
this functionality has not been well-tested.   OTOH, you shouldn't
be using G2/SVN/1.9x for real data, so...  ;)
