Profiles.order is where you need to do it, though I can't say I would 
advise making 'email' an optional field. Just remove the lines 
'email=required' and/or 'email=email' from the particular checkout 
profile(s) you use. In addition to the combined one (named 
checkout_profile, and no longer used in the foundation demo, I think), 
there is a profile for each payment_method: credit_card, purchase_order, 
etc. You need to make the same change in the profile for each payment type 
you accept.

While you are in there you can also add new order checks as desired. The 
basic docs for this are in ic_ecommerce, though there are newer checks 
which are not is this document (check WHATSNEW for the latest). Reconfig 
your catalog to active your changes.
