Hi Henk,

help in this area is greatly appreciated - apart from that, are you
aware of pstoedit (http://www.pstoedit.net/), which AFAICT does a
similar thing?

For 2.0.2, Caolan put some initial tooling for that into OOo, see also
issue 9290 (http://www.openoffice.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=9290)

http://wiki.services.openoffice.org/wiki/Main_Page should get you
started (coincidentally, the 'Getting started...' section).

Use the source, Luke. ;-)

(which would be vcl/inc/metaact.hxx and vcl/source/gdi/metaact.cxx, in
this case).
