 Sure, here is the trivial patch doing this:

        https://github.com/vadz/lmi/pull/29

 I think it might be better to add a helper function for formatting the
amount with the dollar sign now instead of writing

        '$' + ledger_format(...)

in several places but this is rather minor and definitely urgent, please
let me know if you think it would be worth to add such a function any time
soon.
