I don't know about 10.3. The 10.4 unstable version should be up  
within days. At the moment (since libofx 0.8.2 was only release about  
12 hours ago) the fink experimental version of GnuCash 2.0.1 uses  
libofx 0.8.0, aqbanking 2.2.0, and gwenhywfar 2.3.1. It worked for me  
last weekend. There were a few details to iron out with the packaging  
file, but it's almost done.

I was surprised that the experimental version even worked for me with  
OFXDirectConnect. All my out-of-fink-tree compiled stuff is in /opt,  
and /opt is nowhere in my path, so I was working under the assumption  
that I wouldn't interfere with the fink-only install. I suppose the  
gnucash conf files might point to the newer version of libofx in / 
opt???? Anyway, I don't see any reason why libofx 0.8.2 won't show up  
very soon in fink.

As for 10.3 vs. 10.4, there are a lot of packages that show up in the  
same version for 10.3 as 10.4, but I know zero about the limitations  
of that seeming compatibility.

With respect to libofx 0.7.0-2 vs 0.7.0-1, did you recompile gnucash  
after the libofx upgrade? They moved some things around in libofx1 vs  
libofx1-shlibs, so that may have screwed up something with importing.  
(My understanding is that that particular type of failure isn't  
supposed to happen -- such effects are supposed to cause a name  
change, or something. But my understanding is limited...)
