If there's both soffice.exe and soffice.com in the same directory 
(assuming the "new launcher osffice.com" also goes into program\), what 
will happen if some client starts just soffice w/o extension (either 
from a shell, or from Windows' equivalent of exec, if it's possible to 
call that w/o an extension)?  (program\soffice.exe is part of the stable 
3rd-party interface on Windows, but I'm not sure whether we officially 
announce it as "program\soffice.exe is part of the stable interface" (so 
client code could be considered broken if it calls that w/o extension) 
or as "program\soffice is part of the stable interface".)
