Bradley M. Kuhn 0c477cf4da Convert to work with Beancount; constructor takes a filehandle now
The output format for donations changed slightly when we switched to
Beancount at Conservancy from Ledger CLI.  This change now assumes a
specific format of the output for the donations, and takes a
filehandle in the constructor to receive the data.

As such, this effectively makes it slightly less dependent on any
specific donation database, since as long as you can get it into the
format the regex herein expects onto a filehandle, it doesn't matter
what system you use underneath.

Mini Non-Profit Supporters and Donors Database

"Supporters" is a small donor database for non-profit fundraising that uses Ledger-CLI as a backend for accounting data.

While this system is used in production for Software Freedom Conservancy, the code is likely only appropriate if you plan to do a lot of work on the command-line. Eventually, the ideal would be to refactor CiviCRM to support the ideas and Ledger-CLI integration represented in this code.

Why Does This Exist?

Conservancy needed a simple donor database and could not invest the resources required to maintain a CiviCRM instance: most organizations that use CiviCRM either pay for hosting or devote some amount of staff time its maintenance. Conservancy could afford neither, but this weekend-hack version of a database suits our needs (at least for now).
