This could end up being nil, which would give a type mismatch with 'file.

Why do you need this, as opposed to a single function which calls
-program with a customizable -program-options argument?

One is likely to have LibreOffice installed rather than unoconv.
Getting unoconv on non-Linux platforms could be cumbersome.

What would you suggest? Use `choice'?

I am mimicing what is done for recent mupdf changes.

Glenn
I am interested in patch sailing through in whatever form that suits
maintainers. Crux of the patch is in how soffice needs to be used.
Rest all are fillers, that a reviewer can easily workaround.
Feel free to modify the patch in a way that is acceptable to you.
Jambunathan K.

Thanks for notifying.
Oh, I didn't know soffice up to now. That's a great change as it
removes the (optional) dependency to unoconv which probably nobody has
installed anyway.
I've committed the patch with some minor modification. Thanks,
Jambunathan!
Bye,
Tassilo
