Extension can integrate options pages in the options dialog i75869 Options Dialog for Extensions An extension may require to be configured before it can be used reasonably or in order to adapt it to personal preferences. For example, a spell checker extension could be configured to use different sets of grammar rules, a clock extension could be configured to show twelve or twenty four hours, etc. Configuring the extension should be as easy as possible for the user. That is, a dialog should be used rather then some obscure configuration files which need to be edited. And, of course, this dialog should be easily accessible, that is, it needs to be found intuitively.Future extensions shall be able to integrate own options pages into the options dialog. An options page is similar to a dialog but is lacking the title bar and border so that it can be shown in a parent window, which is the option dialog. The options dialog can also be started from the Extension Manager, in which case it shows only the options pages of the selected extension. Joachim Lingner (JL) speclink framework

      ppc64one
      
      
Provides a powerpc 64bit uno bridge. 

ppc users are still recommended to use 32bit userspace applications for 
generic 32bit/64bit performance reasons. But enables uno technology to be 
deployed as native ppc64 if so required.

Only activated if the compiler in use on ppc uses 8 byte sized longs, so 
impact on the normal ppc case.
