Wise decision! The OpenOffice people do not care at all about OpenIndiana/Solaris.
I have repeatedly told them to make certain changes required to at least compile
on our platform but they insist that the compiler should be some ancient version
of Sun Studio. The LibeOffice people accepted all changes and included all patches.
