Technically the business features were designed to be a plugin.  When I
originally worked on that code a decade ago my idea was that packagers
could build a "gnucash" app and then supply a secondary
"gnucash-business" plugin that would supply all the business code, GUIs,
etc.   Obviously that never happened, but that WAS the original design.
