"quotes" refers to support for fetching stock and mutual funds quotes  
directly from the web.  It's a neat feature!  As this requires a few  
additional perl modules (which are not available in darwinports right  
now -- see my other bugs for Portfiles if you want this), I put it up  
as a variant.

"ofx" is a protocol used in North America to retrieve transactions  
from your checking account or credit card.  darwinports includes  
libofx, but since I live in Europe, I can't test it.

"hbci" is the corresponding protocol for Western Europe, but only  
supports checking accounts.  I'm still busy doing the ports for that  
one.
