You can set the adder. The eighth field in a tab-separated line is the options
field, and it can be a hash reference. (The sixth field is the cost field,
so there needs to be a tab between that and the options field.) It can contain
something like:

	{  adder => '@@TOTAL@@ * .05' } 

That will add 5% to the calculated cost.
