r19990 - gnucash/trunk/util - Add facility to force BUILDING_FROM_SVN=no from outside the Gnucash build system

[Derek Atkins]

Micha,

Can you explain how this diff is useful?  The "Building_from_svn" check
is all about determining whether we have to e.g. build the swig files,
etc.  It's COMPLETELY dependent on having already called "make dist".

If you force it off, then the build will probably fail.  Have you tested
that this actually works?
