Ah, right.  I wasn't thinking of that, I was thinking about from within
GnuCash.

One thing we COULD do is add a UI to GnuCash that lets the user input
the API Key and have GnuCash store it wherever F::Q looks for it, be
that in ~/.fqrc or any other place.

The benefit is the simplicity; it makes it easier for GnuCash users.
But it still allows for manual configuration.
