Actually I think it's just a matter of changing g-wrap.scm line 981 from
        "                (dynamic-link \"lib" wrapset-name "\"))))\n"))))))
into
        "                (dynamic-link \"lib" wrapset-name "-0\"))))\n"))))))

Oh, sure, I'm all for doing this all the time. I just thought some people 
might have preferred to keep it the way it is. Surely it's better to use the 
same code for both. So let's change the Makefiles to achieve this.

Sure.

Oh, right -- the last part makes everything work. So the generated files are 
LN_S'd right in the same rule that creates them. This will work everywhere, 
methinks.

Except that [ -d gnucash ] will also succeed with the current symlink to pwd, 
because the directory that the symlink is pointing to is a directory. So I'd 
rather propose to stick to rm -rf and mkdir -p, which will also avoid any 
problems for the other developers when updating their current SVN build tree. 
See attached new patch, again for src/gnc-module (although src/core-utils is 
actually the first concerned directory in the build.)

If this or something similar looks good to you, you can commit right away. 
Eventually this concerns 26 different Makefile.am's, but we can start with 
the first concerned directories from the build: core-utils, gnc-module, 
engine. This will already give us enough tests for "make check" as well.
