Your instructions worked perfectly. I built a portable wpd2odt that runs on any
other OS X 10.6 system. Thank you!
I've written a bash script that updates libwpd and writerperfect with git and
then compiles and builds all three components, so I can update this whenever
you update
The conversions work extremely well. Thank you!
Question: is it possible to guess which version of LibreOffice will have the
new version of libwpd?
