Finance::Quote for EE Savings Bonds

[Robin Chattopadhyay]

HI all-

I *thought* I had this working, but either I didn't or something has
changed that I could use some help with.

To recap:
* I saved Ken's file to the ~/perl5/lib/perl5/Finance/Quote
* Added USBonds to the modules variable in ~/perl5/lib/perl5/Finance/
Quote.pm

gnc-fq-dump works perfectly
gnc-fq-check shows usbonds in the source listing
BUT... in Gnucash, USBonds doesn't show up as a source under Security
Editor. I would have expected it under 'Unknown' but it's not there.

Running Gunucash 2.6.19, built from source on Linux Mint 18.3

Thanks,
Robin
