I briefly checked the existing filters, I think I will base my code from the 
csv export filter. It seems pretty simple to start with, and the code is easy 
to understand.

Actually, I believe my filter should go in koffice/filters/kspread/excel97
I don't plan to do any OLE stuff for now.
Just a clean export for data, presentation (font faces, colors, ...) and 
formulas. At least in the first version.

Is that right?
