Fyi...  I have checked in some sample code that connects to the OFX
partner server and retrieves bank information.  This is a necessary
setup step for online banking.  That same code is integrated into
KMyMoney, and works great.  See the README in ofxconnect for more
details.

Thanks to Jeremy Jongsma (www.jongsma.org) for working out the
protocols.

I didn't check it into the library proper for a number of reasons:

1. Would introduce a dependency on libcurl and libxml++1.0 for the
library itself instead of just the samples.

2. Did not want to bother creating a C interface for all the data that
comes across from the partner server.

I am starting to lean toward the idea of libofx handling the transport
for online banking internally instead of leaving it to the caller.  As I
get further with online banking, it will be something to consider.
