At one point, I think we had the explicit policy that unittests weren't going to have \
a license header. I don't know why... That was back in the KOffice days.

The wv2 in Calligra is different from the one on sourceforge (which is pretty much \
dead and no longer developed), that's why wv2 in filters/words/msword-odf creates a \
library called kowv2.
You cannot build Calligra against the sourceforge wv2.
