openoffice dependency on firefox

[Patrick Welche <prlw1%cam.ac.uk@localhost>]

What does the dependency of openoffice on firefox buy us? Is it "click on
a link in an openoffice document opens a browser" or is there more to it?

(On Friday there was still openoffice 3.1.0 - I haven't tried with 3.1.1
yet - but trying to build 3.1.0 with firefox (ie 3.5.2) rather than firefox3
(ie 3.0.13) didn't work because openoffice was looking for a pkg-config nss
whereas a nss.m4 might work better - but then I wondered whether as firefox
changes quite frequently, is it worth paying the long rebuild of openoffice
every time?) (I build firefox 3.5.2 and openoffice 3.1.0 successfully without
the dependency)

Cheers,

Patrick
