[Tracker] [PATCH] Use odt2txt for indexing OpenOffice documents



Hi,

it was brought to my attention, that o3read has been deprecated in
favour of odt2txt [1]

Attached is a patch, which:

1.) Uses odt2txt for filters/application/vnd.*
2.) Removes src/text-filters/ooo_converter/*, as the inlined copy of
o3totxt is obsolete. (and fix the Makefile.amS and configure.ac)
3.) Add odt2txt to README as recommended dependency.

I have decided to not inline a copy of odt2txt. All major distros (I
checked Debian, Ubuntu, openSUSE and Fedora) ship the odt2txt utility.

Please review the attached patch (generated from trunk. applies to
indexer-split with minor modifications) and test it with you OOo
documents.

Cheers,
Michael
