I can't even imagine the messed up person that would use this.

Accountants and would-be accountants.

Personally, if I get audited, and didn't report this, I wouldn't want to have to explain a bunch of mysterious deposits coming from dwolla due to sales of bitcoin. I figured there may be other people with similar concerns.

Besides, it's free.
Your first error was depositing your bitcoin sales into your real bank account.

฿ * $ = $ ฿ = ฿
Sell BTC Price (USD) Amount (USD) Fee (USD) USD (Received)

Sorry for the ignorance, but where is this run from?  Probably not just a Dos prompt.  Can you explain more please?
Yes, it's just from the dos prompt. You'll need to install perl to use it: http://www.perl.org/

I just created a program to help convert mtgox history files to usable format for entering in the Schedule D Form 8949 format. It even handles wash sales.

It's a little rough, but it works.
