I didn't try...  Last time I tried rebuilding g2 was a while ago.  I wouldn't
think you need to reimplement the whole thing -- just change the "file
selection" API to use the existing API hooks.

GnuCash already uses a file chooser dialog -- we need to in the "file save" or
"save as" code paths.  We should just reuse this API.  Did you look for a
"gnc_file_selection" API?  If nothing else you should look in the gnc-file API
docs.
