I really rather like this solution; bravo, kudos, and do you mind if I steal it?

Absolutely; my point, however, is that munchkinning is what happens when common sense says one thing and the rules say something different - and one of the goals of DF is to support that munchkin in any way that doesn't break the game. Using MartinL's rather elegant 'scoring extra cash' writeup gives one the best of both worlds.
