It's not that I dont belive you, It is just that as I have stated a
couple of times now: I am NOT a programmer, and this is my first program
wich is not installed with synaptics/apt-get or yum.
I have downloaded and spent some of my spare time to try to help GnuCash
with the Translation to Norwegian. Until now, I have needed more help
than I can give (for a little while) to get a working copy for the
translation purpose.

I have not even started using GnuCash for any work yet, but is trying to
help with the development only because I belive in Linux with its
programs and its support, and hopefully this is one of the programs wich
I still have to use windows for.

So, what I'm trying to say is that I don't understand (but I try) this
programming/shell commands and how this files work together. I would
like to get the grip on these things but then I need to be instructed.
And I'm only this to try to help.

Until the last couple of mails I didn't know how the XX.h files was
generated. (I at least think I know now that they are made from the
makefile.)
