We didn't add new dependencies gratuitously,
we added them to support the new features. Otherwise, there wouldn't
*be* a GnuCash 1.6, or at least it wouldn't have nearly as many features
as it does since we would have to spend our time writing the=20
functionality that 1.6 gets from other libraries.

GnuCash 1.6 will be in the next releases of the major distros.
