At some point it also makes sense to reuse our own technologies instead
of putting another man-year of efforts reimplementing a scripting language....

Integrating KJSEmbed sounds like we could provide scripting in koffice
in a relatively short time frame. Redeveloping StarBasic... doesn't sounds like
it. I'm not saying it wouldn't be better for users (full compatibility), but as
we say here, "one that you have is better that two that you'll have later".
