SQL backend for GnuCash 2

I don't think this is a reasonable goal.  If it happens to work out this
way, great, but I don't think this is a requirement of a new SQL backend.

Gnucash has very different needs than KMM or SQL-Ledger or any of the other
apps out there.  I don't think we can share a DB schema easily, and I'd
rather spend the time getting it working /well/ then working hard to
try to make something interoperable at the expense of complexity or
performance (or both!)
