We don't really need to ship symbols. For every released version of
LibO you can just place the pdb files in a public http server and then
tell WinDbg or Visual Studio (probably a much better tool for not very
experienced users)  to get them for there. If we do it this way, we
don't have to add new files to the installation.

Although a much better option (in my opinion) would be to use an
automatic crash report system, so the normal user doesn't have to mess
with such complicated and scary tools :)
