Problems getting quotes for funds

[David Reiser]

I'll see if I can find a straightforward fix. Since gnc-fq-dump says  
it can use one of 3 prices, maybe there is an easy way to branch the  
gnucash code on the gnucash side of the fq fetch. If it isn't  
relatively straightforward, it may be quite a while before someone  
else can look for a fix.
