No, actually, you have to modify the ofxdump.cpp.  The library should not have 
to parse all the arguments, oly those needed for OpenSP's interface.

Instructions were in the INSTALL file, which was out of date.  I am updating 
them now.  To compile, you have to type:
./autogen.sh (For libofx CVS)
./configure (For a distributed tarball)
make
And as root type:
make install

Obviously you should use the CVS version to develop.  If you have to add a 
file or otherwise modify the build system, you must modify the Makefile.am 
files.

By the way, I am on IRC (server: irc.gnome.org, channel: #gnucash) about 24h a 
day (Well, I do sleep and occasionaly go out, but I work from home so...), if 
you have any questions.  My nick is benoitg.
