OK, I suppose. Perhaps the best way for you to do that would be to
make packaging/osx reflect git://github.com/jralls/gnucash-on-
osx.git. With a bit of luck they'll be mostly unnecessary in the next
major release of Gnome and Gnucash. (The Gnucash patches are already
in SVN thanks to Charles Day.)
