building gnucash

[Mike Procario]

I have used gnucash for a long time, and I remember building it from  
source on linux. The developers said that gnucash lived high on the  
software foodchain. They used all sorts of libraries to reduce the  
code that they had to write, but macports dependencies still surprise  
me. I think firefox is a dependency too.

I have gotten it to build and it seems to work except for the help  
system. It displays the raw html instead of showing it formatted. I am  
still working on what is causing that.
