Binfilter removal - PATCH
Hi,
http://tmp.janik.cz/AO/binfilter-removal.diff
This is the first attempt to remove module binfilter. To add more to this, we should remove directories binfilter and scp2/source/binfilter.

Here's the needed information. Feel free to rephrase.
We do no longer read or write the legacy StarOffice formats (files with
extensions .sdw, .sdc, .sdd, etc.). Removal of this code makes the
OpenOffice codebase easier to maintain. The legacy formats have never
been the default format in any version of OpenOffice. Users with legacy
StarOffice documents are advised to re-save them into ODF format (*.odt,
*.ods, *.odp, etc.) *before* upgrading to Apache OpenOffice 4.0. This
can be done using File - Wizards - Document Converter in OpenOffice 3.x.
OpenOffice 1.x files (*.sxw, *.sxc, *.sxi) are still supported.
Regards,
Andrea.

We discussed the advantage of removing binfilter and maybe it's a good
idea to explain exactly in the release notes which formats are not
longer supported.

Excellent!
What should we put in the Release Notes for this? We are started to
collect the info here:
https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/OOOUSERS/AOO+4.0+Release+Notes
How would we explain this to end users? What's the impact? What do they
need to know?
Thanks!

Done on trunk. Module binfilter is still there though. Before removing it, I'd like to do some testing (I manually remove the module before the build).

It is already disabled by default when we build snapshots. I don't see any reason against doing it on trunk.

Anyone against the lazy approach - ie. doing this on trunk directly? This could make testing much easier...

Are there other directories (modules) in main that are antique ?
