Never mind. I have it working now. I think object files got left
over from a previous compile. A 'make clean' would be handy...

MSWordView uses oledecod, which was written by Arturo Tena, and was
the basis for his cole library, which just extended oledecod and
added olecod. I haven't explored them much, but they appear to just
extract streams from an OLE2 file. I'll take a look at how MSWordView
handles the streams in it's conversion process, and see if I can
replace the importer and write an exporter. Word 6.0/95/97/98 files
are all stored as OLE2 objects, and hopefully they don't vary too
much, so we can support all of them easily.
MSWordView might be handy for an HTML export, as well.
