So the idea would be:
Paying in: convert to dollars when paid in, gittip tracks your balance in dollars
Paying out: at payout time, choose a bank account and a currency to payout with. Note that all pairs are not compatible - most banks won't accept bitcoins, and US banks might accept euros, but you'll likely lose a conversion fee each way, so it's up to the user to configure their account/currency correctly.
