RE: examples to manage docs using LibreOffice as a major component

I think that is a bad idea.  A good idea is to turn on anti virus where work is done.  you can't 
tell developers to turn off their anti virus when working on windows.  That’s  crazy talk

It sounds like antivirus software may cause problems with Windows builds. That's useful 
information. Could you please document the specifics on the wiki?
https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Development/BuildingOnWindows#Failures

Right now, I don't see anything mentioning "anti", "virus", "symantec", or "norton" on that page, 
so it's quite possible that the next person is going to run into the same problems you did. Let's 
nip that one problem in the bud.

Thanks,
