My comments are:

1.  Thank you!  Don't under-estimate the value of making the 
RPM/binaries available.

2.  The RPM installed easily for me, and the binary runs fine (once I 
installed Date::Manip).

3.  I can't get OFX directconnect to work with this RPM.  I was able to 
enter most everything into the HBCI druid, which then crashed.  I'm not 
sure of the reason-- there may be more than one.  I'm only at libofx 
0.8.0, and I understand I need at least 0.8.1 is necessary?  The gnucash 
2.0.0 RPM did not seem to require 0.8.1, however.  A yum update did not 
find a libofx update-- is there a repository for libofx > 0.8.1, or do I 
need to build from scratch?  Also, I'm using aqbanking-1.8.1beta-3.1-- 
is that OK?
