good question. Maybe some devs can help here. Is it possible to
integrate this into the build system or are there reasons not to do so?
The explicit URL was added by me since it was cumbersome to open
http://www.openoffice.org/tools/unowinreg_prebuild/680/ and downloading
the library manually.
I'm not a big fan of downloading stuff without an explicit action from
the user/developer: the bootstrap phase works well in this respect,
since the user/developer know he is downloading external files. This is
the reason for us not to do an automatic download, besides the fact that
we can't rely on wget being available (but we could rely on other tools
like the bootstrap script does).
So if we can add it to the bootstrap phase, instead of turning the error
message into a forced automatic download, it would be best.

Andrea.
