Works like a dream on Debian unstable. Perfect graphs using entirely external 
versions of libgsf and libgoffice.

Well done, Josh!

No good news here, I'm afraid. That AM_LDFLAGS needs more work (duplicated in 
a test directory so one of those needs += or similar) and the gnucash build 
failed in gnc-module for some reason. Trying to solve that now. 

Plus had a problem with gog-radar and fmin. OSX reported that fmin was 
declared static duplicating a previous non-static version - not that I could 
find such a version. Commenting out the static keyword is a temporary fix.

However, with all the #warning lines commented out, allowing linking against 
libgsf and that fix to fmin, OSX did successfully compile libgsf and goffice 
from internal code. Just got to work out why if failed later - maybe it's 
something already fixed in trunk but which hasn't been merged into the 
goffice-update branch.

Whilst OSX is trudging through it's build, I can have a look at that from 
Debian.
