Do we want to release a stable 2.4.0? What do we need to finish to do that. There are lots of things happening in trunk, all of which will be
useful at some point, but many of which are destabilizing things.

My feeling from the users list says they want the dbi backend and the new reporting made possible by WebKit, and that they'd like it soon. Maybe we
should ask them what they want.

That's my understanding as well.

However, dbi already comes with several variants: sqlite3 file, mysql
bindings, postgresql bindings. Which one of those should work? All three?

So we need to make up lists of features new in 2.4 which need to be verified
to work correctly:
- webkit reporting
- dbi backend with sqlite3 file
- dbi backend with mysql bindings
- dbi backend with postgresql bindings

There are additional new features, which might still have problems, so we can
decide whether to disable them for 2.4 or test and fix them:
- eguile reports
- CSV importer (or was this active in 2.2.9 already?)
- QSF export (or was this active in 2.2.9 already?)
- Check printing features (but I think those work without problems)

The trading account changes are another new feature in trunk. I think they are working ok, but they need to be documented. The minimal documentation could be pretty simple, perhaps with a reference to Peter Selinger's web pages for background information.
