My accounts are stored in the DBI backend (SQLite, specifically).
Before the present change, GnuCash would be compiled without DBI
support (`--disable-dbi` flag), so I could only use the XML backend.
Now I can use either backend.
I made the change only for 2.6. It looks like 2.4 works the same way,
so maybe I'll enable DBI for that one later.
Making nix packages is delightful! It might replace my accounting hobby!
The test suite was broken by the GLib 2.46.0 update. If anyone finds a
patch that remedies these issues for 2.4.x, please check it in!
Otherwise, we'll eventually update our default version to 2.6.x, I
suppose.

(My OCD kicked in today...)
Remove repeated package names, capitalize first word, remove trailing
periods and move overlong descriptions to longDescription.
I also simplified some descriptions as well, when they were particularly
long or technical, often based on Arch Linux' package descriptions.
I've tried to stay away from generated expressions (and I think I
succeeded).
Some specifics worth mentioning:
* cron, has "Vixie Cron" in its description. The "Vixie" part is not
mentioned anywhere else. I kept it in a parenthesis at the end of the
description.
* ctags description started with "Exuberant Ctags ...", and the
"exuberant" part is not mentioned elsewhere. Kept it in a parenthesis
at the end of description.
* nix has the description "The Nix Deployment System". Since that
doesn't really say much what it is/does (especially after removing
the package name!), I changed that to "Powerful package manager that
makes package management reliable and reproducible" (borrowed from
nixos.org).
* Tons of "GNU Foo, Foo is a [the important bits]" descriptions
is changed to just [the important bits]. If the package name doesn't
contain GNU I don't think it's needed to say it in the description
either.
This requires recent versions of aqbanking and gwenhywfar:

It seems as if the developers have changed their version numbering
scheme in 2012 and have only released versions with the "beta" suffix
since then.

Current versions of gconftool-2 don't support the --config-source option
anymore -- that path must be passed in $GCONF_CONFIG_SOURCE instead.

GnuCash attempt to call gconf binaries to register its schemas in the
system-wide database. That still doesn't work, of course, because gconf
can't update its store path. TODO. :-(

The test suite is currently disabled. There is an issue with GUILE_LOAD_PATH
that needs to be addressed before we can re-enable those tests. See comments in
the expression for further details.
