Hi; I am having fun with other areas of AOO so I don't have time to try this but here are some ideas in case someone wants to do further work there:
1) Update libxslt: xslt is really important in OpenOffice and libxslt 1.1.28 works just fine. 2) Enable building the boost component in python. We carry both boost and Python so it would be natural to make use of them. I think some configure option has to be added to boost for that and then deliver the result. 3) Enable openssl in APR. Again, we carry both, not sure if we are using all the potential there. 4) Replace rtl::math::random with the random nuber generator in APR. We have a random number generator in SAL that we use for bookmarks in documents and to seed the PRNG. APR has a crypto grade number generator that could be used instead. This would add a SAL dependency on APR, but it's likely that APR has functionality that would be interesting for the SAL module. 5) We use hypot a lot (look it up in opengrok), perhaps we should add an implementation in SAL. Pedro. ps. If someone wants to open bugzilla issues for any of these, please don't include me, I specifically don't have time for any of it.
