Porting guppi is a no-no. It was considered several times. Each time the 
idea was dropped, and rightly so -- no-one except Jon Trowbridge would 
be able to do that, and he left the project several years ago.

I'd say we just have to bite the bullet and admit that we have to drop 
the interactivity feature. Just to have "something" so that 
gnucash-gnome2 eventually got the graphing features up and running. 
Maybe someday someone might still reintroduce them, but for now I would 
definitely prefer to have the graphs and gnucash-gnome2 at all, compared 
to having additional large gnome2 delays...
