http://www.antiword.org doesn't work.
I don't know why you think that antiword is better than its alternatives.
It didn't even install properly for me (version 0.31) - I had to create
~/.antiword by hand. Even worse, it doesn't understand the locale charset
(LANG=ru_RU.KOI8-R) and blindly tries to load 8859-1.txt.
I believe that antiword is not ready for wide use yet. I see no reason to
add it to mc.ext. If you like it, use it. But until it reaches version 1.0
or becomes widely used, I don't want to add it to the "chain" - it's
already too long.
