Hi Winfried,

In Excel 2010 Microsoft introduced new functions ERF.PRECISE, ERFC.PRECISE, NETWORKDAYS.INTL and 
WORKDAY.INTL.
These functions are defined in ODF1.2 as ERF, ERFC, NETWORKDAYS and WORKDAY (some with small 
differences).
The functions ERF, ERFC, NETWORKDAYS and WORKDAY are currently in the add-in module.

I propose to make the functions fully ODF1.2 compliant (if they are not yet) and move them to the 
sc module as standard functions.
And use this code to implement the Excel 2010 functions.

IMHO the add-in module is (slowly) becoming something from the past and maintaining the function 
in the sc module is more straightforward.

Any objections to this?

Moving functions out from the scaddin module might a bit problematic.
Most functions exist there because they originated from / have
a counterpart in the MS-Excel Analysis-AddIn. The export to BIFF .xls
for those AddIn functions automatically adds the necessary things so
Excel can actually read them and map it to their AddIn. Moving
a function from scaddins to sc core would need to take care of that.

See current handling in sc/source/filter/excel/xeformula.cxx
XclExpFmlaCompImpl::AppendAddInCallToken()

It seems we'll need a genereal plan how to handle the functions that
Excel newly introduces but are in fact implementations of ODFF under
a new name. Also various of the statistic functions you implemented
match that criteria..

As I wanted to come up with a renaming plan for the FLOOR/CEILING
problem anyway I may as well think about this.. seems related.
