gnucashh-iss-in using ispp patch

[hfelton-lists]

howdee,

im sure that stuff has been ongoing because i
was able to recompile successfully today.  thanx!

here is a kinda-working patch implementing some
ispp-items that might help in the future.  in particular,
there is still an install-issue about finding guile.exe
to run the guile.bat file.  i dont think this affects the
patch, but rather there is still installer-stuff ongoing...

hopefully this will be helpful, h.
