Ledger: A command line accounting tool

Sebastian provided an updated ebuild for ledger and so I finally took the opportunity to move this tool from my overlay to portage. I guess it will only be useful to the command line freaks among us - me included.

I actually do all the accounting work for my company with the tool since nearly two years now and would recommend it to anyone that feels GNU-Cash might be a little bit bloated. The capabilities of ledger are actually pretty amazing and I did not find any double-accounting entry I could not fit in its framework. Which I find surprising since the tax system in Germany is far from anything one might call "logical".
