Okay.  That makes perfect sense, and I think is quite a good idea.

The new failover mechanism is pretty easy, simply use fetch and
request by market or region (eg, "nasdaq" or "usa") and not by

Man-pages area available online at
<http://sourceforge.net/docman/index.php?group_id=3D4232>, and I'm
very happy to answer questions and/or review code.

I'll work on rolling in F::Q 1.0 into the GnuCash tree over the
