Thanks also from my side again! This was a huge hurdle (better 
translation: sticking point?) that always stood in front of the whole 
project, but now you managed to clear it for us. Great work!

Agreed. That's what we always talked about. Just go ahead. (I would 
rather call the branch simply "cashutil", since everything in svn is for 
development implicitly, but that's also a matter of taste.)

Sure. That's how the development of these non-vital parts is supposed to 
happen. Looking forward to seeing your branch.

Err... I suppose the actual question is whether this should happen 
before the first gnucash-2 alpha release or afterwards. And IMHO it 
should probably happen *before* that, since in the long run we agree 
that this move makes sense. In that case, it could as well happen in the 
very near future. I would ask you to wait for another 1-2 weeks until 
everyone is really hooked into the SVN access, but after that, IMHO 
there's no big reason to wait for anything else.
