I have committed your code to svn. Thank you for the patches. What I found missing is the part about default symbols in the iso-4217-currencies file. There are no default symbols as far as I can see. Do you plan to implement this in a future patch ? I agree with David T. that duplicate symbols in that file are not really a problem. If a user uses two currencies that have the same default symbol, s/he can use the commodities editor to set a different one.
