Ledger has had (probably for some time) an "accounts" command that will list
all the accounts from all transactions meeting the other criteria set on the
command line. That's really what we're looking for here when we build this
chart of accounts, and thus that should be used.
Note that this corrects a subtle bug that wasn't apparent with the old
solution. With the '-F "%150A\n" reg' solution, accounts that balanced out
to zero for period (e.g., accrual accounts that were emptied during in the
month) did not show up on the reports. This bug that I didn't know I had
here is thus now fixed by switching to the "accounts" report.
Loïc Dachary <loic@dachary.org>, during patch review, pondered whether the
ignoring of <Adjustment> by these scripts could ever be used to hide funds,
ala the movies Superman III and Office Space.
After discussion, we both concluded that it would not be possible to hide
funds merely with this report. Such hiding would have to also dig into the
main Ledger codebase and muck with how it handles auto-generated <Adjustment>
entries.
The auditors seem to like to see the check deposits made to be subtotaled, so
that's done here. I attempted to aid this by using a --sort and/or
--sort-xacts option (or combo thereof) on the ledger command line, but this
didn't work as expected. I opened a bug in ledger about this:

Previous version of csv2ods.py simply assumed that fields beyond five
would have links to files. This obviously lacked flexibility and was a
silly hard-code. Now, those CSV fields that have link:SOMETHING will
cause a hyperlink to be created to SOMETHING.
Meanwhile, the pagebreak support was similarly hard-coded. Now, any CSV
field that has the word "pagebreak" in it will generate a pagebreak.
The general ledger and cash receipts/disbursement journals have been
modified to make use of these new features in csv2ods.py.
Finally, the --skip-page-break option is now moot in csv2ods.py, so that
is herein removed.
