#4 Export and import for OpenOffice OASIS format
This was not considered a priority because the Excel
files are highly compatible with OO and so there is no
real tangible benefit to using native format. But if
it is required it should be pretty easy to implement
due to the pluggable TableIO framework.
The Perl module to use is:
OpenOffice::OODoc
Bio-Linux also comes with Gnumeric and KSpread. Both
of these now use OpenDocument and have problems with
the Excel files, so if we want to support these then
the OO filter should be added.

Have now made an ods module based on the xls module. This seems to work well for reading, but writing is not yet implemented. This also works for .sxc for which there is a stub .sxc module.
A few bugs in the existing code came to light when coding this, two of which could lead to data loss. Revision 25 should fix them but is not well tested.
