currency exchange rate: online prices?

Hello.

I was wondering... is it possible to get exchange rates in the same way 
as share prices are imported from Yahoo and similar sources?

In the case of Yahoo, specifically, the URL for the page is the same 
both for mutual funds and currencies:

http://it.finance.yahoo.com/q?s=
(putting "EURUSD=X" gives you the rate)

I had a look at the account configuration and the "commodity" entry for 
cash accounts is used by the ISO code, so my idea of tweaking the config 
doesn't really fly.

Has anyone tried something along these lines?

TIA,
Andrea.
