gnc-fq-update download

[farleykj]

I don't know where the gnc-fq-* files are put on a Linux installation, but
they are just short Perl scripts that do the stuff for you. I'm on OS X, and
on there the files are in /Applications/Gnucash.app/Contents/Resources/bin
Either way, here the text from "gnc-fq-update". You can copy this into a
file, make it executable with a "chmod 755" and you should be in business.
