i still think it makes sense to go a step further and actually merge
all finished CWSes into OOO340 using HG first, because that is by far
the easiest way and doesn't have any technical pitfalls.

This will not good in database part of OOo, the cws hsqldb19 finished
and waits for dev300 integration toward OOo 3.5.
it is contain hsqldb 2.x.x database engine which is incompatible
(convert all data into new version whic is not reversable) to presently
used 1.8.0.10 version. Then the new version file opens in older version
of OOo, but not usable, warning came up to use newer version of OOo.
If you merge it it will cause mess.
The using merging cws hsqldb needs to discussed in project in later
time. It is cause incompatibilities, but the hsqldb 2.x.x has more
features which is good for database users.
Indeed Michael's suggestion to merge finished CWS first is too much: we should create branches for them in svn, but merging must be decided on for each CWS individually. There may be other reasons why a CWS shouldn't be merged to master, e.g. because the work on it is still not finished and it will either break the master or introduce horrible bugs.

Thanks for the heads-up regarding CWS hsqld19.

Mathias
