Mmmh, personally I have no problem to point the office to the jar. I
think an extension is overkill, particularly if the functions provide
nothing OOo-specific. However, it would be interesting to embed the
library within a database, so queries simply work without installing
anything. Impossible? Security issues?

btw: Did anybody notice that you can not remove an archive in
Tools>Options>Java>classpath... The "Remove" button remains disabled.
