Hi,

I'm starting to merge the common sl branch to the trunk.
It probably takes a while for the first commit, but I think it's in a shape to 
be merged.
There will be quite a few api-breaks, but this is natural, as the XSLF and HSLF 
differ a
lot in certain areas ... and I either don't want to keep all the old 
methods/structures
or the hierarchy is different (e.g. text handling in shapes).
A sketchy list of differences can be found in [1], but I will modify this list 
while merging.
Furthermore there are still a lot of things to do, beside the recent bug 
entries [1]
I will most focus on slide rendering.
I asked for review twice (... I think), but I guess we let the community decide 
about
the changes and I will try to adapt to the old methods if the complaints get 
too high
... the problem with that is, that I have the impression that newer versions of 
POI
aren't broadly used, so this might take a while ...
After the merge, I try to supply patches for TIKA where necessary.

So up till now, I haven't merged/committed anything and look forward to any 
hints
on a soft launch ;)

Best wishes,
Andi
