[GNC] How to set a customer "opening balance" for the Customer

[James Thorpe]

Sadly for my use-case, the invoice will not let you assign 
Equity:Opening Balances as the posting account otherwise that would have 
simplified things for me, yes. GnuCash will only let you post to Assets, 
Expenses and Liabilities accounts.

Understandable, I guess.
