There is no such thing as a "really simple OFX file".  OFX is a fairly
complicated SGML protocol.  Why do you want to convert a nice, simple
QIF transaction to the complicated OFX format?  The only benefits of
OFX, IMHO, are the ability to do automated duplicate-import detection
(using the account-unique OFX FITID) and the Bayesian account mapping.
OTOH QIF lets you do mass assignment of transactions with the same Payee
or Memo.
