        The mozilla stuff is a nightmare, I'd recommend turning it off as much
as possible (personally) - it only slows the build down for your needs.

        Sure - well, it should be easy enough to resurrect the code to do that,
the CWS as a patch is here:

http://cgit.freedesktop.org/libreoffice/build/tree/patches/dev300/cws-mdbdriver01.diff

        And there are some patches for mdb related bits in the same directory,
look at the 'apply' file there and for the mdb related section.

        HTH,

                Michael.
