Could I convince someone, anyone, to go into TransLog.c and gut it, and
replace it with the following very very very simple code:

printf ("(gnc:split-set-memo split %s)", xaccSplitGetMemo (split));

and so on, down the line, so that the contents of the resulting log file
would be valid scheme that could be piped to guile, to recreate the lost
session? 

The goal is to keep things as simple as possible; the log files don't
have to be efficient or fancy or anything, just simple, low-tech,
workable.
