Thanks Andraes,

Note that LO has some *very* specific dependencies.  In some cases, they have
even gone so far as to fork projects.  So it may be that we'll need to maintain
several versions of a package to satisfy everthing.

Anyway, I will keep an eye on the build and see if we can make it build to a succesfull
conclusion.  Anyone else interested can also chip in.

     Hi John,
     
     I enabled only x86_64 for libreoffice (and all systems for its added
     dependencies) and created a jobset on hydra:
        http://hydra.gnu.org/jobset/gnu/wip-libreoffice
     It should start building soon.
     
     Notice that graphite2 is already available in the distribution, so there is
     no need to add silgraphite.

     Well, you can already add a patch for a dependency that builds, and modify it
     later if it needs tweaking.
