MacPorts currently supports version 3.8.1. Martin, could you answer a few
questions about this version?

-Can I safely eliminate the "g2banking" front end in all cases? This doesn't
exist any more, right?

-Is qbanking the only front end that depends on X11?

-What is the "fbanking" front end? I see it in the src tree but it isn't
described in the README. Does it need X11 or Qt?

Cheers,
Charles
