Not true. The code has already been released by Linas - all I'm doing is 
desperately trying to keep Gnucash in sync with an EXISTING external library 
and the simplest way of doing that is to complete the spinout.

You make it sound like I'm hijacking gnucash.

There's no point now, I've got the patch ready that will allow G2 to build 
with external QOF. 

But in time for cashutil, which also involves structural changes to the 
codebase, this would be useful. QOF spinout is required before cashutil can 
be merged into the gnucash tree.
