OFX connection to Vanguard

[David Reiser]

Yes, make sure you don't define <FID> for Vanguard (leave it out of  
ofx.py). Vanguard, and many other brokers, do not have an FID. Some  
of them ignore extra info on login attempts. Vanguard fails the login  
attempt if you send it anything more than it requires.
