price editor and tiaacref

[David Reiser]

It was me. Mid-February is when I started using the swap-the-whole- 
fink-tree approach, and I didn't get Crypt::SSLeay installed in the  
fink tree I use with gnucash 1.9.x. (I tried to install Net::SSLeay  
in the system perl library, but cpan complained it couldn't find  
OpenSSL, even when I entered its location.)

There's still a slightly annoying quirk, though:

gnucash: [D] (handling-request ("tiaacref" "CREFequi" "CREFstok"))
gnucash: [D] (results (("CREFequi" (symbol . "CREFequi") (gnc:time-no- 
zone . "2006-04-21 00:00:00")
(nav . 87.997) (currency . "USD")) ("CREFstok" (symbol . "CREFstok")  
(gnc:time-no-zone . "2006-04-21
00:00:00") (nav . 223.5287) (currency . "USD"))))

TiaaCref is sending data with no time information. F::Q or GnuCash is  
adding the midnight timestamp, and then the Price Editor is assigning  
Friday 4/21/06 end-of-day NAV to 4/20/06.

Two days of data from the TIAACREF server:

CREFstok,223.5287,04/21/2006
CREFstok,223.2338,04/20/2006
CREFequi,87.9970,04/21/2006
CREFequi,88.0668,04/20/2006

Price Editor shows 87.997 as the price of CREFequi on 4/20. A minor  
bug, but I'll go put it in bugzilla for later.
