Re: [Libreoffice] [ANNOUNCE] Partial Build without the need to source Env.Host.sh

Hi

Thank you to all the hackers working to make the build process smoother! Your efforts are much 
appreciated.

Having some time spelunking in the build system, I now understand why almost every large-scale 
software project ends up
writing it's own build system - trying to read gmake/dmake macro code makes me think back to my
programming-with-MSDOS-batch-file days :-)
