I'm not even sure I read this one... But the idea is right, everybody is 
writing the same stuff to parse the kspread files... It would make sense to 
do that in a single class that everybody reuse.
Actually, today I was thinking about a libexport common to every koffice 
export filters. Well, this is for the future but I will keep that in mind 
when doing something for kspread.

I read what you did. This is so cool. What I don't know about is the gcj part. 
I never heard about gcj before you noticed it.

The problem i was talking about is the class HSSFWorkbook doesn't exist 
anymore. They changed their artchitecture with a factory somewhere. I haven't 
figured that out yet, but this will be the easy part of the filter anyway...
