Hi,
   How hard would it be to have a mostly binary openoffice ebuild, plus some
source compilation to get things like KDE-integration, and more importantly ;)
the Gentoo splash screen?  Maybe only leave uncompiled the USE flag dependent
source code, and make the rest binary?
   (I guess some of the USE flags might touch all of the source, maybe NPTL for
example.  In cases of "performance" related USE flags, just choose
compatibility, kind of like the all binary packages do now.)

Thanks for you work!
C.

Gentoo is source only with rare exceptions and upstream provides the binary
tarball. No one creates an extra binary Gentoo OOo. Aside from this you get a
KDE lookalike OOo-bin when you enable the kde use flag.
