that sounds like a lot of work...
What if I convert my extension to a LO module? Then I would get direct
access to all the internal stuff.
What would be the advantages and disadvantages of a LO module over an
extension? Can modules be installed separately in Windows (I know that
it works in Ubuntu where writer, calc etc. are all separate packages).
The disadvantage of core functionality vs. an extension is overall code
bloat of the LO core. And while making a specific part of LO accessible
to extensions may be a lot of work, it is generally the right way to go
nevertheless---it is our intent to have the relevant core functionality
accessible by extensions.
(And yes, there is some degree of split-up of LO on some platforms. On
Linux it is typically split into various distro-specific packages, and
on Windows the user can control which parts of the full instset are
actually installed, while on Mac the full instset is monolithic.)
