I've quickly looked at the code, but I don't think it's easy to modify it in such a way that parameters can be substituted generically. I could add some exception code that particularly tests for my use case (GNUCASH_LATEST_STABLE_VERSION), but I don't like that idea. Unless someone knows a better way to implement this, I'll just revert my change altogether.
