To summarize the problem:

   - Ledger itself cannot calculate capital gains for commodities
   - Ledger cannot** even export the data you need to calculate it yourself!

So your data becomes trapped in Ledger files that you can't use! You can't 
get it out!

Now I have to give up on Ledger. I can't store my transactions in it, 
because I can't get them out when I need to calculate capital gains. I have 
to write my own ledger alternative. I have to manually re-enter a lot of 
data. :(

**I'd love to be proven wrong, but I failed exporting with everything I 
tried: (1) ledger register, (2) ledger csv, (3) python "import ledger", and 
(4) ledger lisp. I didn't try (5) xml because xml is gross.
