[GNC] reconcile dates

[David Reiser]

My credit union activates deposits for my account when received. Deposits from outside that are intended for the first of the month are usually credited in the prior month. When that happens, I need gnucash to look beyond the end of the month for the transaction that represents a January payment credited in December, or my reconciliation will fail.

However, I will say that I have gotten used to this little quirk and since I import most of my monthly transactions (and the financial institution knows how to cut off transactions beyond the closing date) using QFX, when I reconcile the needed transactions have already been checked and the ones after the closing have not.  Even though in a manual reconciliation you wouldn't even look at transactions after the closing date, it does no harm to include them.
