no, the code in
ftp.gnome.org/pub/GNOME/sources/libgnome-http/libgnome-http-1.0.9.tar.gz

positive.  I have 1.7.4 right now, and it fails horribly on the autogen

I found the problem, and can get some sort of workingness out of the
gnome2 port now.  I had to change gnc:totd-dialog-create-and-run to
gnc:ui-totd-dialog-create-and-run.  Don't know if that is a g-wrap issue
or what.  Either way, I am hanging out in #gnucash, and will try to
submit more issues as I find and (hopefully) fix them.
