Please don't change this. pkg-config --libs libqof should give me
EVERYTHING I need properly link libqof. It should not be the job of
every user of your library to figure out what your build-time
dependencies are.... Unless, of course, I don't need to link against
-lgda2 when I link against -lqof?
I.e., I should be able to just use the libqof pkgconfig library list
to link against a qof app. I shouldn't have to know e.g. glib2.

The string freeze is delayed until we solve the gnucash-1.8 encoding
update issues.. So no rush to get the new string in there.

hopefully... You never know if we find more bugs.. ;)
