Simple instructions to add my own quote source

I'm using GnuCash version 2.4.13. I think that's the current release. 
The quote sources are "Single", "Multiple" and "Unknown". From what I've 
seen, my source is supposed to be in the "Unknown" category.

I haven't done anything with the source code for GnuCash. I didn't think 
it would be necessary.
