Err... I think you're right, gnucash's OFX import does not use aqbanking but 
instead libofx (which aqbanking doesn't use anymore). So basically a similar 
issue applies to libofx w.r.t. checking its library, but libofx is a dead 
project and we can copy its code into our SVN anyway if we need to, so 
modifying that code is quite possible.
