        That's an interesting one =) I guess 6.0 is a good substitute for 4.0 -
I imagine that back-compatibility with some corner-case of pre 3.2
releases (which were not LibreOffice ;-)

        Then again - no idea if there is still a win there; but Stephan is
really the expert here (?) - quite possibly my comment was wrong ;-)

        ATB,

                Michael.
