Nothing will happen to our current documents since none of them are 
based on the
Avantgarde.ott template. Though if we want to make any changes to 
Avantgarde.ott
templates later and keep the name and location of the template - then 
the user will
get a question if he/she wants to update the styles. We need to avoid that.

Hmm... Interesting, it seems that it does not even have to be in the 
same location
just in one of the installed paths or set as default template.

I have no idea what happens if we change one of the "built in styles" 
which is the
long term goal as I understand it.
