Motivation

Taken from the task:
It confuses people when copying package files into user/uno_packages, running pkgchk and wondering why nothing has happened

Specification

"presets" will be the new folder name, instead of “user”. This name has two advantages:

1. Taking a look what the folder contains (these are templates, documents, default settings, dictionaries etc.) this term works good, because the are the default settings every user gets installed.
2. The term has no "user" in it. This assures that it won't confuse user, and they don't think that in this folder are they user data stored.

The table below lists the change:

Platform	Old	New
Windows	$installdir/StarOffice 8/user	$installdir/StarOffice 8/presets
Unix	opt/staroffice8/user	opt/staroffice8/presets
Linux	opt/staroffice8/user	opt/staroffice8/presets

The "user" folder in the user's home directory or in "Documents and Settings\username\Application data\StarOffice8" will it keep the "user" name.
