    This commit adds (fully transparent) support for the WP4.2 document
    format to libwpd.

    Some important notes (for developers):

    - Added complete infrastructure to parse WP4.2 documents (and perhaps
    even earlier versions). Basic text import is supported. Additional
    features will come.

    - Added a WPDocument class, which automatically instantiates the right
    parser for the given document (ie. the WP5 parser, WP6 parser or WP4.2
    Parser).

    - The WPDocument _now_ assumes a document is in the WP4.2 format, when
    the WP6 and WP5 parsers fail to recognize the file header. To be able to
    detect if a file uses the WP4.2 format, some heuristics are needed (will
    do ASAP), since WP4.2 files do not have a header indicating its format.

    - I think I broke support for the low level utilities wpd2text and
    wpd2raw. wpd2html works fine, and can load any supported document type

    - I'll add a static "isFileFormatSupported()" function to WPDocument in
    the very near future.

    - Merged the WP6HLParser and WP6LLParser

    - The AbiWord plugin is already working in my tree as a proof of
    concept. I was able to load a complex WP4.2 document without any
    problems. Yay!

    - The current WP42HLListener is a mess. Do not look at it. I'll fix it
    ASAP.

    - I hope I didn't forgot to cvs add any files

    - Next on my TODO: basic WP5.x framework.

    Have fun.
