Applications that need unreleased libraries

[Toshio Kuratomi]

A new gnotime[1]_ has been released that unfortunately depends on a
version of the qof library which has been marked by the maintainers as a
development release, not intended for packaging.[2]_

The gnotime tarball includes a version of qof that it works with.  My
plan is to build the new gnotime against a static version of this
internal library until a new qof is released.  To track the static
dependency I'll also document the changes required to revert to the
system qof when the new version is released and file a bugzilla against
gnotime to remove the static qof.

Does anyone have a better suggestion?
