As I already built gnucash from source, I decided to simply hack the
source to include my currency - that's are the joy of OpenSource, aren't
they? ;)

However, am I really the only one who needs such a feature?  Of course
it is possible to transfer funds as you described, but that way I need
to enter the transaction *twice* - and that should be the responsibility
of a double-entry accounting system, shouldn't it?
