Not sure what this is supposed to mean ... the wallet already checks if enough coins of a suitable denomination are available.

The contract from the merchant may specify a set of acceptable auditors and/or exchanges. Once we have multiple exchanges, it is conceivable that some are not acceptable to the merchant, even if the fee structure is OK, i.e. because they are not sufficiently audited. So we need to not only check if we have enough coins, but also if we have enough coins from acceptable exchanges. Furthermore, right now, all coins must be from the same exchange (we could lift this restriction in the future).

I see.

The wallet already does what you describe, except for the auditor part.

Yes, the auditor part was what this was mostly about.

We also need a new fee (in /keys, in contract), which is the maximum (or actual) aggregation fee that the exchange charges per aggregate wire transfer (as we learned that can be a significant expense).

Fixed in 3c563c7, the wallet's coin selection now considers the auditors that the merchant's proposal terms include.
