Working on OpenOffice is a waste of time IMNSHO.

I have been working on porting LibreOffice instead; the community is much
more friendly and after a few patches I was given a commit bit.

It mostly works on DragonFly now[*], but we need some fixes to our libc for
proper C++ support.

Your best for the moment is to try misc/openoffice3-bin if you're on i386.

[*] Among the remaining issues, LibreOffice cannot save .odt and .ods files.
