I plan to convert the Excel filter to output directly OpenDocument file. 
Is it a good idea? Of course it will still depend on KOffice libraries.
However, if someone can create a minimum framework so that the filter 
(perhaps after slightly modified) depends only on Qt, then many will be very
happy, I believe. For me, it is also good because I can work on Windows since 
it is easier to go back and forth to Excel for checking.
