Eventually we'll want to build qofsql..  The only question is whether
we'll want to include sqlite (which I assume libsql is?) in the
gnucash source tree (lib/sqlite) or just call it an external
dependency...

This does sound like glib-2.  You could try using the g2 branch of the
code.  The qof code is not completely up to date there, but it gets
synced about monthly.

Hmm...  I dont recall this issue, but then again the only
mix-and-match we're using is g-wrap.
