Python bindings on Mac OS 10.9

[Alun Champion]

I was able to build gnucash in macports. If I remember correctly I
only needed to make a couple of corrections to yelp (remove dependency
on gnome-settings-daemon and fix some X11 code dependencies - headers
and commented out some code). Hindsight, it would have been much
easier just to remove the yelp dependency in gnucash port file as it
is only a runtime dependency and I only needed the python bindings.
I was experimenting with importing historical quotes and option quotes
using YQL.
The macports version is still 2.4.X (gnucash-devel is 2.5.X).
