        Thanks ! :-) and welcome to the project. It'd be lovely to have a
blanket license statement for all your contributions that we can link
into:

I grepped for the removed stuff using pss[1], a Python clone of the
more famous ack[2] and I told the tool to only grep in C and C++
files, otherwise it takes a lot longer. These extensions are then
searched: .c .cpp .cc .cxx .m .hpp .hh .h .hxx. How sure can I be that
this covers all their possible uses in LibreOffice code base?  Could
it be that some Java code is calling those methods via JNI for
example?

        That seems rather unlikely; particularly if the method is a C++ one -
since it's name mangling will be pseudo-random across platform, in
general only extern "C" methods would be called from Java (I suspect).
The vast majority of our API is exposed to Java via. UNO - which uses
C++ virtual method magic to achieve it's ends.

        So it sounds like you did an excellent job; what's next ? an easy hack
perhaps ? or more unused code ? :-)

        Thanks !

                Michael.
