Yep, anonymous cvs.   Thanks, didn't know about the recent problem. I had 
noticed the ~5 hour delay in the past, which has been no big deal.

Well I'll see how I can do updating my qof tree from the gnucash's 
lib/libqof and see if I can get my qof to build, if not, I guess I'll just

Thanks for the info!
