I have succeeded in accessing my Chase account using:
gnucash    2.6.9
aqbanking  5.0.25
libOFX     0.9.5

(I find it odd that to activate OFX direct connect in gnucash, you have  
to enable hbci, there is no separate flag for aqbanking.)
<CLIENTUID> is only referenced in file in aqbanking  
src/plugins/backends/aqofxconnect/plugin.

What I'm curious about is whether KMM could use aqbanking for this  
(while waiting for the libOFX related changes).  However, based on  
trying to compile the frameworks versions of KMM, am I correct that KMM  
4.x requires aqbanking < 5.0, so it would only be possible with the  
frameworks branch only?  (I can't quite test myself, since I don't have  
quite enough of the frameworks versions of stuff installed to complete  
the cmake.

As a more general questions, I'm curious what the difference is in  
using aqbanking vs just libOFX to get OFX direct connect.  I don't  
otherwise need aqbanking for anything, so for me would it just be using  
an extra layer?
