Honestly, I don't know.  I've never seen it cause a problem.  In fact
all my development (on FC3) has used g-wrap 1.3.4.   Unforunately the
g-wrap-1.9.6 configure script doesn't properly detect the lack of glib1,
so it tries to build it even when it's not able to (which is the cause of
the g-wrap build error).  I'm not sure whether gnucash2 requires the g-wrap
glib bindings...  But you can certainly build g-wrap against glib2 with
that small configure modification.

Unfortunately Rotty has been unresponsive to my emails to him, which is
a problem.  I can't get 1.9.6 to work at all on solaris -- libffi fails.
Rotty, if you're reading this -- Please Help!
