Indeed, I spent a lot of time making the core gnucash engine modular
enough that the business features would plug-in to the code. There were
only a FEW things that had to be hard-integrated in (specifically the AR
and AP account types). But all the Customer/Vendor/Invoice/TaxTable and
associated reports were separate enough that you could build gnucash
without them (or at least package it into a sepeate gnucash-business
package).
I view the payroll somewhat differently. It's more like the tax tables.
GnuCash implements some tax table rules but requires the user to
actually input the numbers. I see payroll as similar (but MUCH more
complicated, which significantly more "rules" that would need to be
implemented). See my previous email on the topic.
