Right, its currently not implemented. I beleive that the right way to
do this is to add an initial value into the "Account" structure, and also
add this to the GUI for creating an account. Haven't done that, although
it seems easy to do.
Note also, gnucash doesn't support accounting periods right now;
and having the initial/final balance will be crucial for supporting this.
