That's probably not completely sufficient, because Gnome needs
to know where to find ancillary files like schemas, icons, etc.
I'm not sure how to make THAT relocatable..  Although it must
be possible at some level because of the Win32 portable gnucash,
so perhaps it can be done.

  find . -name \*.dylib -o -name \*.so | xargs install_name_tool -change \
  /Applications/GnuCash.app/Contents/lib @executable_path/../lib
