Right, my massive "grep" might have given noise :-(. Sorry about that. In such a case, these variables should be removed from the list... or moved to another list. But I think that run time and build time variables should not be mixed. It's a personal opinion only, of course. > A column listing the place of occurence would help to determine this. Indeed. If I get some time, I will add this information.

That's correct. I would be more than happy if I have impulsed something useful. That does not mean that my "vision" of the overall problem was correct. After all, I am rather new to OpenOffice.org, and you probably have much more knowledge of the development problems than I do. If this list ends up in a completly different project, that's okay too ;-). -- Marre des virus, vers, spywares, adwares et plantages ?
