Initial import of gnucash-1.9.0, the first development release of
the GTK2/GNOME2 version of GnuCash.

NOTE: THIS IS A DEVELOPMENT RELEASE!!! THIS VERSION HAS NOT
BEEN TESTED PROPERLY AND MAY DO ABSOLUTELY ANYTHING!

USE AT YOUR OWN RISK (AND KEEP *LOTS* OF BACKUPS)

See the pkgsrc/finance/gnucash package for the stable version.

GnuCash is a personal finance manager. A check-book like register GUI
allows you to enter and track bank accounts, stocks, income and even
currency trades. A full set of reports allow you to see the state of
your finances. The interface is designed to be simple and easy to use,
but is backed with double-entry accounting principles to ensure
balanced books.

Features include:

  - An easy-to-use interface.  If you can use the
    register in the back of your checkbook, you
    can use GnuCash.  Type directly into the register,
    tab between fields, and use quick-fill to
    automatically complete the transaction.
    The interface is customizable from within the
    application itself (no editing config files :) )
