Those are installation directories which are the result of you building Gnucash 
yourself with prefix set to ~/Library/Gnucash-2.2.9  and 
~/Library/Gnucash-2.3.x . They're bigger than the bundle because there are a 
lot of extra files that are needed to build everything that aren't needed to 
run Gnucash.

So the hard-coded path is in config.user? That's annoying. I guess I need to 
run sed on it as part of the migration script.
