Canadian Mutual Fund Quotes

[David Reiser]

Doug's modified StockHouseCanada.pm worked for me. It is listed as  
'stockhousecanada_fund' under the 'unknown' radio button in the  
Security Editor.

I tried a couple changes to the f-q module that accesses the www.fundlibrary.com 
  site, but I wasn't able to get it to work. It looks like they've  
changed their site (again).
