Are you sure you want to blow everything away rather than take Geert's suggestion to disable it with a configure option? If you're sure about that, would it help for you to have a branch in SVN so that other devs can build and test your work? We can make the branch before applying the reversion patch so that we won't be re-applying all of those earlier patches when you've got your fix-ups completed. There's an alternative as well: You can create an account on Github, clone the Gnucash repo, and create a branch there that you can push to at will.
