        Great :-) encouraging indeed.

        Not sure; clearly most people build from git. If you want to build
3.3.3 from git that is easy too: you can clone it in the normal way, and
then do:

        ./autogen.sh
        ./download
        ./g checkout libreoffice-3-3-3

        in the checkout - and you will have what you need.

        Right ; prolly in the src/ directory inside the 'build' module.

        Of course, you don't want to configure with --with-git - but otherwise
(I hope) it should work. Having said that the 3.3.3 build is pretty
baroque compared  to what we have in 3.4.x and master...

        HTH,

                Michael.
