Re: goffice integration

Hi Rob,

Thanks for working on this.

Unfortunately, it did not work for system libgoffice; I have commited
couple of changes to abi_goffice.m4 and configure.ac, but now it does
not work for the peer setup :(.

The problem is that AC_CONFIG_FILES() cannot be called conditionally, so
it cannot be used at all in the main configure script for files in
optional peer directories. The goffice-bits directory needs to be setup
the same was as the other peer directories used to be and have its own
configure script, etc. For now, assuming that the normal way should be
building with a system library, I have commented the line out in
configure.ac, so if you are using goffice in a peer directory, you will
need to uncomment it again, until the peer setup is fixed.

BTW, is goffice 0.3 required ? It seems to work with 0.2, so I lowered
it in the abi_goffice.m4 macro.
