Re: ofxdump/ofxdump.cpp 1.26: Removing sys/stat.h

It looks like I was mistaken about it crashing.  The problem is that it
gives this spew:

LibOFX INFO: libofx_proc_file(): File format not specified, autodecting...
(Above message occured on Line 4294967295, Column 4294967295)
LibOFX ERROR: libofx_detect_file_type():Unable to open the input file x
(Above message occured on Line 4294967295, Column 4294967295)
LibOFX INFO: libofx_proc_file(): Detected file format: UNKNOWN (File format couldn't be sucessfully identified)
(Above message occured on Line 4294967295, Column 4294967295)
LibOFX ERROR: libofx_proc_file(): Detected file format not yet supported ou couldn't detect file format; aborting.
(Above message occured on Line 4294967295, Column 4294967295)

By inexperienced users, this has been reported as a problem with file
format.  As in, "Why isn't this file supported?  Why can't my file be
detected."  This results in extraneous support mails when the program
could just clearly tell the user what the problem is with a single error
message.
