But this feature could be a Plugin or a Datatool, which would then be optionally compiled if glib2 is present - just like we do for wv2.

Interesting. I thought it would be better to link a plugin to the OTS lib, but given the very clear input/output design of this feature, you're right, it's probably much simpler to just call the binary. -- David Faure -- faure@kde.org, dfaure@klaralvdalens-datakonsult.se Qt/KDE/KOffice developer Klarälvdalens Datakonsult AB, Platform-independent software solutions _______________________________________________ koffice-devel mailing list koffice-devel@mail.kde.org http://mail.kde.org/mailman/listinfo/koffice-devel
