I do not know really, since I never had OOo on this Ubuntu install and I 
saw OOo New Thesaurus in my Writing Aids list, along with the Hunspell 
spellchecker.  I did not see any differences when I ran the MyThres-en 
.deb install to add that "support".

I am told that Hunspell is based on Myspell, but I do not know the 
difference.

Some of the English dictionaries have thesaurus built in, according to 
the Extension Manager's listing for them.

What comes "out-of-the-box", I do not know, since I have many extension 
installed post-install of LibreOffice 3.3.x.

So it will depend on the language you have as your default installation, 
and the language packs that are installed.  Then if you install all the 
proper name, medical, and other dictionary/writing-aid extension, you 
get a lot of writing aid option to work with.  I have many that I have 
as my default group, with many more locally to choose from, if needed.
