The wrapper is nearly functional now, but GnuCash folks (at least
Derek Atkins) seem quite hesistant to switch to the new codebase,
since this brings a new dependency (on guile-gnome-glib); also it
won't be possible to really make GnuCash work before it has switched
GNOME2, since guile-gnome-glib wraps GLib 2.0, but GnuCash needs 1.2
(ATM).

Also, I wonder why the wrapper is so important - are that many of our
users (who install the new G-Wrap to build guile-gnome) going to also
build GnuCash?

I have a truly elegant proof of the  above, but it is too long to
fit into this .signature file.
