Umm.. I can't imagine ANY workaround that gnucash would perform
that would silently break with a gda upgrade.  Worst case, a gda
update adds additional performance improvements but gnucash doesn't
get them because it's doing stuff "by hand".  Also, one would hope
that some of these gda updates would also rev the so-number, or
change the gda_version() (assuming there is one).

Oh, I'm all for getting gda fixed..  But there's a timing issue here.
How long does it take to:

1) get GDA to fix the problem
2) get a new GDA release
3) get the new GDA release into the distributions?

It's #2 and #3 in particular that can take the most amount of time, and
if that time isn't "less than a month" then we're in trouble.
