Glad to hear it.  Yeah, a true gnucash executable should play nicer
with gprof, and (more importantly for me) also gdb.

Well then, are there any user-visible differences between the
`gnucash-test` program that this patch installs and the `gnucash`
script that (eventually) calls guile?

I intend to commit it as installing `gnucash-test`, and hopefully a
few more people will try it out.  If nobody screams, how would you
feel about installing it as `gnucash` instead of `gnucash-test`?
