Correct, however, e.g. the SWIFT importer in GnuCash already uses AqBanking's 
import/export module, so the only difference between the now existing SWIFT 
module and a theoretical AqBanking-OFX import module would be the name given 
as argument to the function AB_Banking_GetImExporter(), and of course the 
wording in the GUI.

But I wouldn't recommend it yet, since AqBanking's OFX parser only provides a 
subset of the LibOFX features (only those functions currently needed my 
AqBanking: transaction statements, account balance and account list).

Martin
