However on Windows you don't need to run this manually -- just run
the option in the Start -> All Programs -> GnuCash menu to install
your quote grabber.  You'll need to install ActivePerl first.

Correct, GnuCash has no auto-update feature.  Nor does it have
a "check for updates" feature.   Adding this would be an interesting
project for some up-and-coming developer.

Sure, add the column "Total in (Base Currency)".
