About 60% (or more) of GnuCash is in the GUI.  There's even a lot of
business logic in the GUI code, which you'll have to replicate.

You'll have an easier job helping us finish the g2 port and then
using the windows g2 port as the basis for porting gnucash.

I wish you luck and look forward to your patches.
