[GNC-dev] "2" version of source code

[jean laroche]

Thanks for that effort Bob. Let us know if you need any help with 
anything (I doubt it, but who knows, testing maybe?)

Remind me what the push was to create the "2" version? What improvement 
were you guys hoping to achieve?
I know I'm interested in multi-transactions operations, but I'm sure 
that wasn't the only goal...
