I'd love nothing more than to collapse into HEAD (I've done too many
syncs in my career) but its way too early.  The register stuff is only
half done at the moment.  I can bring up a broken GL, but bringing up a
simple account register crashes gnucash.  (Its not hooked into the new
windowing setup yet.)  Speaking of the windowing setup, the register
appears in the main window at the moment without the normal complement
of menu actions or toolbar buttons.  I haven't even looked at nor tried
to exercise any of the business code, nor scheduled transactions, nor
the reports, nor many other things.

The button layout, et. al., got done because I had a week of evenings
sitting in a hotel room with a laptop, the source code, and nothing else
to do.

I'm currently wading through the guts of the register code trying to
figure out why the GL is missing the line for the Notes field, and why
any attempt to edit any field in the register has no effect but causes a
warning message.   Once I get this fixed, knocking out the code to
create and populate register and SX windows should be fairly quick. 
Once that functionality is present we could start to consider a collapse
into HEAD, but there would still be a lot of work left.  I'm only
working on gross functionality at the moment, not even trying to polish
dialogs or make them work nicely. (E.G. The account tree currently
collapses all open accounts after you select one and run something like
the reconcile command.)
