Beancounter_0.7.2 released

A new beancounter version has just been uploaded to Debian, CPAN and my beancounter pages. It fixes a somewhat annoying bug at Yahoo!'s end -- they suddenly started to quote currencies 'in pennies' rather than 'in dollars' -- i.e. CAD went from 0.7447 to 74.47 which does of course break comparisons across time, and return/risk calculations. Phil Homewood sent in a patch (that we extended minimally) which addresses this at least in the short term by adding a fix the ScrubData() routine. We divide new data by 100, and I'll need to add a fix for backpopulation.
