I wouldn't call it a farce. Wrapping new APIs is still just a simple
matter of programming. Sometimes programming DOES imply rebuilding,
but rebuilding gnucash is fairly simple nowadays.
And yes, it's a known issue that there's no wrapping of SXes.
But.... that discussion should move over to -devel.
