"binfilter" is the project name of this stuff in OOo, so that's the
reason it was chosen. It might not be perfect, but it is easy enough to
find out what it does (and most shouldn't care about it anyway) but
"staroffice" would be a lot worse in my opinion, as this is just for
some ancient StarOffice formats, while the more current ones are
supported by default (so it would suggest something wrong)

Actually I thought about that issue in advance, but decided that
something like "binfilter" is better than something complicated like
"staroffice-legacy".
