Building 2.5.0 / Ubuntu raring 13.04

Norbert,

I have pushed three more changes fixing another set of build failures due to libguile.h not being found. With 
these changes I can compile gnucash succesfully on my Ubuntu raring vm.

I can't however run "make test". The vm is quite minimal and I seem to have some issues with the locale 
settings in it. Not being used to the Ubuntu flavour of linux, I have no idea how to get that set up properly 
(from the command line) and no time to search for it.

So to be complete, please update to the latest trunk revision and build the source as Christian explained in 
an earlier mail. If that goes well, also run "make check" to be sure our test suite works fine as well.

I have to wonder though, has swig been patched on Ubuntu raring to work with guile 2 ? I know from 
experience an unpatched swig will not work with guile 2. I have written a patch for swig to get at least 
gnucash working with it. I'm currently working with the swig developers to get my work in their main code, 
but it isn't yet.

You can find more details about my work regarding guile2/gnucash/swig in the following gnucash bug:
