[GNC] Bank of Amerca OFX transaction downloads (broken)

[Lincoln A Baxter]

This is awful! 

I fear that this newer interface (with quicken) is probably is an
undocumented protocol, that will be impossible to reverse engineer, if
not impossible, would support from BAC and/or quicken which will be
really hard to get.  Grrrr
