Good thought. I'm quite certain that the next version of BLFS will
include GnuCash < version 2.0 in which case most of GNOME-1.4 libs
are required. A simple sentence on the GnuCash page saying such
is probably prudent.

And just for the record, and in case Gerard reads this, following the
GnuCash dependency tree installs almost all, if not all, of the
listed GNOME-1.4 apps in the BLFS Book.

A sentence mentioning that a GnuCash installation is a significant
endeavor, that installs many old obsolete libraries is prudent.
Though because those libraries are installed in /opt/gnome-1.4 it
isn't a big deal. All moot, however, when GnuCash goes to 2.0.

However, I'm inclined to not put it in the book until after the
next release, even if it came out tomorrow, as GnuCash is a package
that you need to rely on to be right, or bad financial things could
become you. It is simply not worth moving away from the tried-and-true,
known-to-be-good, don't-have-to-worry, properly operating GnuCash
currently in the book.
