I also suppose that if we want to integrate to the OOo look & feel, we will 
need to use gsl and vcl. I might try to have a look at those libraries, but I 
am quite busy at the moment, so I don't promise anything. 

BTW, if we want to know what is missing, shouldn't we first define what we 
want ?

In fact, I think that some boost code is already used in OOo. And if you get a 
look at the licence of boost, you will see it is quite permissive. But, as I 
am not an expert of such topics, maybe we could ask someone more involved in 
this kind of problems.
