[GNC] balance of interests between users and developers

[Paul Kroitor]

Or just fire up your OS's favourite hypervisor (Hyper-V for Windows, KVM on
Linux, etc) and run multiple instances.

In fact, with a single Windows VM, you can keep a tree of alternate
realities (i.e., checkpoints), and jump back and forth between different
scenarios. For example, running 4.10, you can take a checkpoint, install
5.0, test, then revert to 4.10, install 4.14, work, jump back to 5.0, and so
on. Checkpointing isn't only about reversion to past situations -- it can be
used to manage alternative presents too.

It's not necessarily new version and current version. Two versions, same
computer -

In Windows, use GnuCash installed on system for testing and the desired
GnuCashPortable version for the real books.
