I think that the problem with OpenOffice is that it comes from StarOffice.
Last time I downloaded SO was 5.2 and had over 70MB of binary, compressed.
Anyway, I don't think you can get it smaller, but, as the people of
OpenOffice are doing, you can always split it up, modularize it, so it is
easy to make changes.

P.D.: Linux kernel hasquite an amount of lines of code, but the developers
have no problem finding bugs and all the stuff.

Saludos.... :-)
