That's right.  There's a CGI wrapper that manages Gnucash "sessions" 
(now I think I could have done it using PCGI, but didn't know at the
time) and you make the calls through XML-RPC, passing a session ID as
the first argument. 

It will be a little while before I put this into CVS; there are still
some issues to resolve about what API gets published and how some data
types are handled.
