So how do we go on now ? Ace made some interesting proposals which I think we 
should discuss. My backend is now finished (it still awaits testing with real 
banks) and the setup wizard works (it doesn't do much for now but it is 
already usable).

Frankly I dont want to wait until a new layer for my purposes is finished 
(especially if you don't have the time to do it), so I think we should go for 
a more immediate solution.

The reason for pushing is that I can't expect someone to test the new backend 
if not even the CVS version of LibOFX suffices...

So please let's discuss Aces' and my proposals:
- adding the three fields now
- making the account_id parser fiendly so that I can extract the needed 
information reliabily (by means of delimiters or fixed columns)

Regarding the viscosity of this discussion I humbly withdraw my other API 
change ideas (to which only one person answered so far anyway ;-)


regards
Martin
