Hmm.  Actually, if this really is feasable, and if we decide this is
the way we'd like to go, I'd be happy to spend quite a few hours
making this work right, documenting it, etc.

Looks like I'll have to do some poking around and talk to some of the
other gnucash developers.  Spending time on postgresql might be a much
better investment than spending time on the libxml output/input format
I was about to begin.

Thanks so much.
