        Because OOo declines to re-invent the wheel?  Some of these are
easy to understand if you know almost nothing about programming -
the fonts for example.  Others, like cairo, pango, expat, and CUPS,
are established libraries for dealing with things like text
input/rendering, graphics, and printing.  "gtk" is the GUI tookkit.
        What I don't understand is things like pciids-20090224.
