[Wtr-general] Excel Interface Class

[Paul Rogers]

I use Open Office. Having the Excel reader is handy, but it obviously doesnt 
work for me. I started working on some code that would read open office 
spreadhseet files. It would be great if you could make it work on both, with 
the same interface, especially as things like firewatir and safari watir 
work well on non windows platforms.

The open office format is an xml file in a zip, and its actually quite easy 
to work with.
I can send you my code if you like

Paul
