I would not mind. However most import and export filters are in the same 
directories. One .po(t) file, two libraries ... Pretty hard to match names!

On the other side we could force each import and export filter to be in 
separate directories, like for RTF or now HTML.

Or we could use the fact that (expect for csv) each .po(t) file of filters is 
named after the directory. However, I do no idea how to use this fact in any 
code.

I will first do the KOFFICE_1_1_BRANCH, as it is more urgent and because 
there is only one way to fix it. So we have time to find alternative 
solutions for CVS HEAD.
