Unluckily for me, ledger 2.6.1 (the latest precompiled binary, on
http://www.assembla.com/spaces/Goldcoast/documents) does not work like that:

#+begin_src sh
  address@hidden:...ness/Accounting 0$ ledger --version
  Ledger 2.6.1, the command-line accounting tool

Everything is that easier under Ubuntu...
