I suspect the debian/ubuntu libtool b0rkenness in this.  The order on
the list is the order it will try to install.  It also tries to relink
during install.  When it tries to install libgw-engine (which was
earlier in the list than libgncmod-engine), it failed to install
because libgncmod-engine wasn't already installed.
