@sb: Oliver is on vacation, I'll try to answer what I can, he showed me
a CWS build once before he left.

The CONVERT function is not broken, apparently the conversions were read
from the initial configuration, but somehow adding new conversions
wasn't possible, they weren't known to the application then. I just
retried using OOo_3.2.0_091210_unxlngi6_install.tar.gz from
sb111-instsets, but had NO problem adding a new conversion to
share/registry/main.xcd, it was known to the application after having
restarted it. We'd have to wait for Oliver to see if he did something
different.

The description in the Function Wizard certainly will have to be
changed. I don't think it was documented how exactly new conversions can
be added, the typical end user probably didn't know, but this feature
may have been used by enterprises to administrate daily exchange rates
of other currencies, for example. The online help has only "The
conversion factors are given in a list in the configuration."

For "ease of use" I'd prefer if the UnitConversion  node would be in
a separate file, but I guess given the rare use case this is not
justified.

Btw, the configuration files now consist of one long line of XML
elements, can't we at least have line breaks? Yes, I know xmlpp works
and XML editors probably would too.. anyway, would be easier to edit
using an ordinary editor.

Btw2, I like how schema and data are now in one file, but the <info>
elements with the descriptions are lost. Any plans to re-add them, and
if it was in separate schema files to not have them clutter up the
configuration itself? A configuration back-end now doesn't have the
chance to display them. Or did I miss something?
