Well, the 400 line solution really hooks into the otherwise normal processes of GNC... Redefining currency is a larger problem, which I would guess at requiring a total rewrite off all accounting programs everywhere.
But how valuable this would be is an open question. For a scenario where the user owns securities (stocks), it is nice to know the current market value of them. When the user makes an actual trade, then that transaction would have a manually entered price (or exchange rate). Because the market rate for MSFT at 12:36 EST that finance.yahoo.com reports may not be (almost definitely is not) what you got for it at 12:38 EST from your broker.
