	1) This is fallout of the libtool bump (see
/usr/ports/UPDATING).  Check the archives for this newsgroup about
two or three (??) weeks ago for a long thread on what's up and how
to fix it.
	2) According to messages here over the last few days, gnucash
will not update correctly due to breakage in the dependencies.
Search for "gnucash"+"guile"+"slib".
