People from Debian and others work VERY VERY hard to maintain
--system-python and other --sytem-something flags; they are what you want,
use system installed stuffs. OOo is huge monster, and maintaining source
is extremly tough job. just adding --without-mozilla requires huge effort.
--without-java is also such kind of thing. Hamburg team (SUN) admits patches
to remove java dependency and others, but it doesn't immdeately mean
we can use such flags. A lot of work required.
I know some --system flags do not work for FreeBSD.
please do submit JCA and patches. I can review your patches and I
can commit patches to OOo directly. (BTW: it still takes time)
