I'm pretty sure there's no way to do it without a server hack but it 
shouldn't be that tough to do.  You can probably just add E_INSFUND to 
the enum for errors (in structures.h) and then you probably have to tell it 
that there are now 16 errors instead of 15 but I have no idea where that 
would be, and you'd probably have to hack the verb compiling stuff too.  I'd 
suggest just using E_QUOTA though since it's usually used for insufficient
resources or funds as well as quota.
