If I was reading it I'd want to know it worked as it was written.

I am puzzled by one aspect. How does the menu system find the binary and 
  docs? I seem to remember that when I compiled it I had to run the 
binary from its location, but on reboot it magically appeared in the 
Gnome menus. If I add the --prefix to install in /opt/gnucash-2.2.4 will 
this still happen?

Also do I install the docs with
./configure --prefix=/opt/gnucash-docs-2.2.0
which is a separate location and how will gnucash find these?

Would be pleased if you would take a look and see if this is a problem.
