[GNC] Correcting reconciles

[davidcousens49 at gmail.com]

David,

It seems reasonable to me that if the information on a transaction is changed,
particularly dates and amounts, that any splits reconciled in another account
would be unreconciled to force checking that they remain correctly reconciled. 

I generally note if other reconciled accounts are affected by any modifications
I do while performing a reconcile and then rerun the reconcile process on those
accounts to the date they were last reconciled. Any modified transactions that
were unreconciled will show up unmarked and usually ticking them off is enough
to retore order unless the amount of the split has been changed.
