gnucash and Mac OS X 10.4

I finally got gnucash to build, but it was not no a fresh & clean  
Fink install.  I had my previous /sw folder from my Panther install,  
and after a couple selfupdate's, it finally built and is working.

It does start up awfully slow, but at this point I'm just glad it  
works at all. :)
