I more or less solved it at last by getting a somewhat older wv2 from CVS - it
did compile after I edited wv2-config to report 0.2 as its version number,
even with the newest koffice/filters/kword/msword. Reading the MSWord-
documents also works fine, except that I have problems with fonts - nothing
that can't be solved, though.

With quick answers like this, it ain't no problem...I'm happy enough it works
now, and I can't expect to have a working CVS-version all the time. I'll
probably return to my own pc by Tuesday - I'll try again with the newest
sources. The computer I'm using now is running Windows, so I can print the
documents and read them later on.
Thanks for you work on the filters,
Jonathan
