In the meantime I am a step further - having found some very annoying things:
The recent MinGW cross tool chain supplied for SuSE 12.1 (64bit) seems to be 
broken - at least with regards to the LibreOffice code. Actually, I found 2 
"bugs":
a) windres does not work correctly
b) IFileDilogCustomize somwhere around "Vista"-files remains undefined

Fortunately I still have an installation of SuSE 11.4 (status December) as a 
fallback on my system, so I changed back and at least could again compile 
everything. The office itself (of December) now shows up again, the problem 
with the UnoUrlResolver comes up here, too. But at least, I now have a way to 
debug the beast...

Since the MinGW office seems to work rather nicely, I will in the first step 
remain on that one - I guess, remote controlling probably will introduce 
further difficulties ;-) - especially since I have the feeling that my 
problems are locally..

What came to my mind: Since I moved the LibreOffice directories, could it be 
possible that I have to adjust one or more ini-files? Furthermore, which 
environment variables are used setting up the local context? Until now I did 
some experiments with URE_MORE_TYPES, UNO_PATH, OFFICE_PROGRAM_PATH, and 
URE_INTERNAL_LIB_DIR (I used the notation "file:///L:/blabla/blublu/..." to 
name a path).
