TIKA-1490 Use the Old Excel parser for older OLE2 based formats too, like Excel
5 and 95 (nick: http://svn.apache.org/viewvc/tika/trunk/?view=rev&rev=1647243)

> Key: TIKA-1490
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/TIKA-1490
> Project: Tika
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: parser
> Affects Versions: 1.6
> Reporter: Nick Burch
> Assignee: Nick Burch
> Fix For: 1.7
>
>
> In TIKA-1487, we added mime magic for the pre-OLE2 excel file formats. Based
> on the reading of the OpenOffice Excel docs for that, it looks like it should
> be possible to produce a basic parser to extract key bits of info (eg
> strings) from these older file formats.
> This would likely largely be done by having a custom record iterator for the
> older formats, then passing the handful of "interesting" records to POI's
> record classes (maybe with some tweaks for the older formats) to have the
> binary data parsed, then returned by the parser
