In general there is no need to have a separate account for each
customer.  You can, in general, get the information you would want via
the reports which can break apart your Invoices and Payments into their
respective Customers/Vendors.

Doing this means you have to make sure you post each customers' invoices
to their individual account..  It's a lot of extra work for IMHO very
little gain.

If there is data you need that the reports don't give you then we should
expand the reports.  Code donations always encouraged.
