Sounded unfamiliar, so I checked. The Apache OpenOffice sources indeed have three such lines left (all in obscure fairly irrelevant parts of the code; two inside odd #ifdefs that are never true, one inside their OS/2 (yes!) backend). LibreOffice naturally hasn't any such crap any longer.

Do you know why both Apache OpenOffice and LibreOffice still exists?
