It is not architecture dependent.  Based on the background material
in some of the referenced postings, it appears that OOo makes some
invalid assumptions about its GUI environment.

I've had a look at the JCA and am not willing to sign it without
some independent legal advice regarding some of the terms used -
and at this stage, I cannot justify that expenditure.

In any case, my patch is basically a cleaned up version of one of
the other patches referenced from the PR so it is possible that I
cannot "contribute" it in any case.

I am unaware of any other port with such draconian requirements.  It
seems that the FreeBSD OOo project is not interested in receiving
patches and I will keep that in mind in future.
