+GnuCash is personal and small-business financial-accounting software,
+freely licensed under the GNU GPL and available for GNU/Linux, BSD,
+Solaris, Mac OS X and Microsoft Windows.
+
+Designed to be easy to use, yet powerful and flexible, GnuCash
+allows you to track bank accounts, stocks, income and expenses.
+As quick and intuitive to use as a checkbook register, it is based
+on professional accounting principles to ensure balanced books and
+accurate reports.
+
+The dependencies webkitgtk, goffice0.8 and libgnomecanvas have been
+dropped, with webkit2gtk, python3, and gtest being the new dependencies.
+
+Pass OFX="yes" for OFX (USA) (requies libofx)
+Pass AQ="yes" to enable aqbanking (Germany) (requires aqbanking)
+Pass WITHPYTHON="yes" to enable Python bindings for report gereration.
+
+If you want the SQL database integration, you must first have libdbi
+and libdbi-drivers installed (with postgresql support), and then pass
+the DBI="yes" flag.
+
+NOTE: You must remove any previous installation of Gnucash before
+running this script, otherwise the build will fail.
+
+WARNING: This script builds version 3.0, which is still considered a
+development version. It still contains many bugs which may make it
+unusable for your application. In a production enviornment you may
+want to stick with the gnucash 2.6.x series. Also, This package
+conflicts with gnucash-2.6.x. You can have one or the other, but not
+both.
