There's code in there that already looks for files in the ~/.gnucash
directory. One large, fat .gnucashrc won't be enough, which is why its a
directory.

There is some file auto-magic code that I suspect no one is aware of
or uses; it might be broken. Tell me what you think:
If you start gnucash like so:
% gnucash blort.xac
and the file blort.xac does NOT exist in the current directory, then it
will search for it in the ~/.gnucash/data subdirectory.
The only 'problem' with this is that new files are not created in the
~/.gnucash/data directory, but instead in the current directory.
There was an idea that by putting them in the ~/.gnucash/data directory,
things would be somehow simpler for beginnners.
