[GNC] F::Q XAU & XAG quotes not retrieving for 2 years

[Adrien Monteleone]

Thanks Ken, I was able to add those two in a 'Precious Metals' 
namespace, that indeed works.

But now how to integrate that with my existing XAU/XAG denominated accounts?

I'm guessing I'll have to make new ones with those symbols for 
commodity, then delete the old accounts and let GnuCash move the 
transactions, but I can only imagine that could be a mess with the 
trading splits.

Regards,
Adrien
