I think you need to be more proactive about patching GnuCash as well
as QOF-CVS.

This is BAD.  Please make sure not to "lose patches" that are made in
the gnucash tree.  Yes, this is an issue with having two trees (or
worse, three or four).  This is all Linas' fault for pulling QOF out
before it was "ready".  ;)

Seriously, if you're going to work this way you have to collect
changes and apply them in both directions.  If a change is made in the
gnucash copy then you'll need to make sure that change isn't lost.

Unfortunately it's more than just an inconvenience.  -Werror promotes
warnings to errors and causes the build to fail.

QOF being external is both a blessing and a curse..  It makes it MUCH
more difficult to fix bugs or make changes because you now have two
projects that need to release simultaneously.  It really slows down
the release cycle tremendously.
