Next stable gnucash, 1.8.10?

[Heath Martin]

I've had the gnome2 branch running on my x86_64 Gentoo system for a long 
time now;
it's unstable and prone to crash if I do the wrong thing, but I've got 
several crashers fixed.
Attached is a patch to fix the compile errors (generated by the arch 
"tla show-changeset --diff"
command, so it may not be in the best format) and a couple of other 
things (a deprecation in the
"head" command in autogen.sh and a configure fix to detect db).  
Remember this is for the
gnome2 branch, so it may not apply directly to the mainline, but maybe 
someone can use this.

It's primarily just fixing things like GINT_TO_POINTER casts, but there 
are a couple of
other things in there too.

Best Regards,
Heath Martin
