Dom,
This is great news. Thanks for the update. We'll definitely be interested
to hear what else you can find out.
Jamie's currently taking the lead on our efforts to switch wv over to use
libole2, so that we can start using wv to *export* Word documents, and not
just import them. Since libole2 integration is next on his list, I'm sure
he'll be especially interested. ;-)

Do you know whether anyone's attempted to build libole2 on non-Unix
platforms? If not, that'll be one of the places we'll need to focus our
efforts.
Thanks,
Paul
