Hi Aaron!

Yap, I ran the test already some time ago and fixed all the issues that 
were pertinent back then.

Already fixed about a week ago.

Will not be shipped in 2.0
We'll organize a big 'cleanup' of kofficelib nearer the release.

Will not be shipped in 2.0 due the the 'cleanup'.

I waited for the KFormula forward port to finish before we go over that 
codebase :)

Autogenerated.

Not sure if libs still is the best place.
Practically the kwmf library can be GPL since the only things that 
actually uses them are filters/kword/mswrite and filters/karbon/mso
So we can just move the lib or mark it GPL instead. (I vote for the 
latter).
Either way, I'll keep it on my schedule for the big libs cleanup closer 
to the release of koffice2.0 :)

Don't know how to fix those easily :/
