This is slightly off-topic... but I was curious...
Although most of the time it's great to compile from the source. Is there
much point with OpenOffice? There's no USE flags to tailor for it, and the
ebuild seems to filter out the compiler optimisations... So what's the point?
Does it mesh better with the rest of the system if you compile it from
source?
I remember when I switched from MozillaFirebird-bin to MozillaFirebird the
change was very noticeable, MozillaFirebird(nonbin) was MUCH nicer to use and
had better fonts and everything. Is it the same with OpenOffice? Or is it
just for the hell of it? :-)
