Bob will be duplicating Word.  Start your own project, and then let's
see what components we can share between us!  Can we agree on an API for
the spellchecker component?  How do we export/import to/from different
file formats?  How do we embed Gnumeric documents in our documents?
How do we do print preview?  Let's start talking about these issues rather
than telling each other what kinds of programs we can or can't design, and
what kind of programs we should or should not be using.
