Outdated link on documentation page

[Geert Janssens]

Andreas' link to the Gnome HIG (v2.0) got me to send this mail...

While browsing the gnucash website for available documentation, I found that 
the documentation page (http://www.gnucash.org/docs.phtml) still points to 
version 1.0 of the HIG.

The links is found under the heading
Documentation Development ->
  Interesting links ->
      GNOME Human Interface Guidelines

Since GnuCash is now based on Gnome2, maybe this link should be updated as 
well.

Regards,

Geert
