I can think of a few ways.

1. Manually copy and paste each module as text. Unless I had say more
   than 5 modules, I would do this.
2. While LO is not running, copy the directory containing the standard
   library to a new directory, then modify the XML file that references
   the library to reference it.

I can think of more, but that is probably enough for now.
