Aaron Lindsay 1d8ba5c19a Make optional struct fields pointers 
This allows encoding/xml to properly comparison against nil to see if
they should be marshalled if the 'xml' tag contains ",omitempty" and for
users to test against nil to see if a field was present in the parsed
OFX.

This commit also fixes up cmd/ofx to use the new pointers.

ofxgo

A library for querying OFX servers and parsing the responses and an example command-line client.

Goals

The main purpose of this project is to provide a library to make it easier to query financial information with OFX from the comfort of Golang, without having to marshal/unmarshal to SGML or XML. The library does not intend to abstract away all of the details of the OFX specification, which would be very difficult to do well. Instead, it exposes the OFX SGML/XML hierarchy as structs which mostly resemble it.

Because the OFX specification is rather... 'comprehensive,' it can be difficult for those unfamiliar with it to figure out where to start. To that end, I have created a sample command-line client which uses the library to do simple tasks (currently it does little more than list accounts and query for balances and transactions). My hope is that by studying its code, new users will be able to figure out how to use the library much faster than staring at the OFX specification (or this library's API documentation). The command-line client also serves as an easy way for me to test/debug the library with actual financial institutions, which frequently have 'quirks' in their implementations. The command-line client can be found in the cmd/ofx directory of this repository.

Library documentation

Documentation can be found with the go doc tool, or at https://godoc.org/github.com/aclindsa/ofxgo

Using the command-line client

To install the command-line client and test it out, you may do the following:

$ go get -v github.com/aclindsa/ofxgo/cmd/ofx && go install -v github.com/aclindsa/ofxgo/cmd/ofx

Once installed (at ~/go/bin/ofx by default, if you haven't set $GOPATH), the command's usage should help you to use it (./ofx --help for a listing of the available subcommands and their purposes, ./ofx subcommand --help for individual subcommand usage).
