Just for the record: 

We will probably continue using libguppitank for the current graphs, i.e. 
for those which are already implemented in libguppitank. If we want to 
come up with more sophisticated/complex graphs, like a price plot with 
variance bars and several average lines, then we might just use the full 
generality of the Guppi API. Currently the code for the full-blown Guppi 
API is kept inside libguppitank. In the future, instead of adding new code 
for new graphs to libguppitank, we might just add the same amount of code 
to Gnucash. 

As a side-effect this won't require a Guppi update for any sort of new 
graphs anymore.
