How much help does LibreOffice's own documentation offer?  (For I have
seen the ebuild, and it is an ugly beast with ~70 packages worth of
dependencies.  That's for the lightest configuration, which lacks cups 
support, any kind of scripting, and several other things.  It would be
much easier if we could just say, "follow this guide, but you'll need to
pass this flag and this flag.")
