Gentoo Linux:
  Currently at 0.9.1 with an "unstable" ebuild available for 0.9.2 just  
since March.  (I installed it today, but haven't done any testing at  
all yet.)  There appears not to be a current maintainer of libofx for  
the distro.

I'd love to see if I can create an ebuild for 0.9.4, but I don't know  
if I'll have the time in the near future.
