Bradley M. Kuhn 8f54ebb54c Big Postal Address Change — First steps toward new fields.
These are various changes to support the changes to the postal
address table to include split-out fields for parts of the address
instead of just the formatted_address field.  The changes herein are
not comprehensive to solve all the problems and issues associated
with this update, but they are enough changes to get most daily
operations with the database more-or-less working.

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).
