Thanks James.  I'm going to take a closer look at OOo4R.  It seems a 
better than screwing around with that darn ole stuff some more.

I've been involved in some stuff at work with Excel using VBA that's 
taken things just _way_ too far.  I'd like to start looking at 
re-implementing some of the stuff we've done in OOo, but I'd really like 
to be inside the OOo process.  Not to mention that using another form of 
basic is not appealing.

I think that something like this could be a huge step for Ruby.  If 
anyone else has any information on the Python uno bindings or anything 
else related I'd love to hear it.
