Thanks. I also have to correct myself: There is still activity in the project, 
http://sourceforge.net/projects/libofx/ says Benoit occasionally commits code 
into its CVS (huh, is this still around?). I also noticed I myself still have 
CVS commit permission.

Nevertheless there hasn't been any release for quite some time, so if there 
are useful changes for gnucash I'd suggest to just copy over the code to 
gnucash (even though this means introducing some c++ code).

Yes, absolutely.
