Care to contribute it?

Agreed. I think we should store the XE.com rate in the db, and another
one attached to the invoice. We can then regenerate the difference wrt
gain/loss properly this way.
The problem right now is that exchange rates are not automated, and so the
probability of eventually entering a wrong amount is quite high. Since the
software doesn't provide for this sort of error, it is a problem :-)

Agreed. My thinking is "Daily exchange rate" and an "exchange rate for this
transaction" can be stored so we can automatically calculate these issues.
