I doubt the level of abstraction is high enough to be useful.  We
map directly from gnumeric data structures -> XLS.  There are
certainly routines that could overlap but you may be better off with
the POI project, or the perl module given that they have focused on
an api to write XLS, whereas we have focused on supporting as many
features as possible.
