FWIW at this point I'm not averse to changing to (g-wrap2) as the module
name. It's foolproof, modulo any typos when doing the switch. Otherwise
GnuCash must compile with the new g-wrap (consider bsd's that build
their systems, gentoo, etc.)

I agree with Greg that this is a serious issue.

I'll see about doing this today or tomorrow.

Sure, once you can actually install it with g-wrap ;) I don't want to
deal with answering double-g-wrap installation bugs -- I'm too high-
latency, and users will get discouraged.
