I don't know, there must a bug in openoffice.org's "commit" command?

That's what I did about a year ago, and we retried again half a year
ago. Just maybe I'll attempt it yet another time. Otoh, in some
circles people might say that I'm unable to learn or take a hint if
I did that.
Anyway, here it is
http://hg.services.openoffice.org/cws/layoutdialogs3

Experts: please have a look and work closely with me on this! :-)

As I understand it (CMIIW) the Go-oo project was not created to--and
does not exist to--give developers another repository to "work weeks
or months" and provide "patches only".
When I commit code to Go-oo, chances are that a binary will be built
from them and shipped to users within a week. Sometimes within hours.
Also, upstream often did [does?] not build ootb, and it's impossible for
me to fix the build within a reasonable time frame [ie: hours]. I
can fix the go-oo build within an hour if it's broken, if someone
doesn't beat me to it ;-)
In my case with layout dialogs, it allowed me to get OO.o binaries
shipped with dialogs enabled for more than a year now...while upstream
cannot even build them yet? Possibly the fresh layoutdialogs3 builds,
let's all pray it won't have bits removed upon/after integration and
'commit' takes less than half a year this time.

That's grand, please send a patch!
Greetings,
