GnuCash 1.8.6 bugfix and translation release?

Considering that:
- A last minute change caused major problems to the OFX and HBCI modules in 
1.8.5
- This afternoon I discovered that I broke the log-replay module by a bad 
merge the stable branch (the log format changes in TransLog.c were not 
committed, meaning transactions can't be recovered after a crash)

I think that a very quick 1.8.6 release would be appropriate. We currently 
have 3 broken importers out of 4 in 1.8.5...

Mandrake is going to release 9.2 quite soon (I think they are already at RC2.  
Hopefully we can get in there soon enough to avoid a large bunch of 
unsatisfied users knocking at our doors.

This shouldn't be risky, as there have only been 3 bugfixes and translation 
updates to the stable branch.  I would propose we go into string freeze 
immediately, and once everyone confirms that the 3 bug fixes are ready for 
release we proceed...

Does this get everyone's blessing?
