Well it seems that this is a pretty common feature. If you'd
like to work on it, the relevant code is in xaccParseAmount in
src/engine/util.c. Options are defined in src/scm/prefs.scm,
let me know if you have any questions. One thing I should
mention is that the code in src/engine shouldn't be querying
the option value directly. See src/gnome/top-level.c for
examples.
thanks,
