The code will soon be at a point at which I would trust others to add to
it independently.  I've a bit yet to flesh out (e.g., password dialogs if
needed, more error handling, some other issues) before I'm ready to
release my monster on the world...or on gnucash.  Also I need to
incorporate it into the gnucash source tree--right now I have it building
as a separate module.
