It is pulling in small parts of gnumeric code, but the intention is
to pull those down into goffice when it get split out.  For example
a few widgets.

The plugin code will be trickier.  We've learned a fair amount since
the gnome-office module code split out.
    - requirements for management
	(user/groups/system)
	(per app vs per system)
    - Ways of simplifying the types of services.  GObject only seems
      a bit too strict.   Something like func, GObject, system, and
      data seems necessary.
    - handling stubs
    - There is also an active debate on how to handle registry.  Do
      we continue using the discovery approach with light xml.  Or
      move to a gdk-pixbuf-query-loads approach
