It is perfectly alright to build AqBanking without X11 support. In fact, I'm 
doing it myself (my application "aqbanking-cli" is a command line utility, so 
it doesn't need X11).

The only drawback is that without the QT3 frontend there is no graphical setup 
tool for AqBanking...

BTW: There is no GTK2 frontend since AqBanking3; The only application using it 
was grisbi and since collaboration with the grisbi developers wasn't that 
fruitfull I dropped it. Gnucash has it's own frontend so it isn't effected.


Regards
Martin
