(It still needs boost 1.53 for all tests to pass.)
unoconv is a tool that converts between any document format supported by
LibreOffice/OpenOffice.
Example of how to convert an .odt file to .pdf:
unoconv -f pdf some-file.odt

Implementation notes:
unoconv must use the same python version as libreoffice (unless it will
not be able to load the pyuno module from libreoffice). And because we
recently switched to libreoffice 4.x, which uses python3, I had to
include unoconv-python3.patch. The patch comes from upstream unoconv.git
repo, so it will be included in the next release.
BaseX is a very fast and light-weight, yet powerful XML database and
XPath/XQuery processor, including support for the latest W3C Full Text
and Update Recommendations. It supports large XML instances and offers a
highly interactive front-end (basexgui). Apart from two local standalone
modes, BaseX offers a client/server architecture.

Implementation notes:
- I'm using the pre-built java package (because it's simple)
- I copied the basex.svg icon file from the Ubuntu package because I
couldn't find it anywhere else. It's 9.3 KiB.
The jing expression now creates its own "jing" wrapper script, so there
is no need for jing_tools anymore.
jing hasn't been updated in years, so I assume (or hope) that not many
(if any) have jing_tools in their configuration.nix. If you do, just
change it to jing and it should behave the same.
Also add meta attributes and a wrapper for jing so that it can be
invoked directly from the shell as "jing" (similar to Debian/Ubuntu).
Trang already has such a wrapper.
There were conflicts in pkgs/development/interpreters/ruby/ruby-19.nix,
which I resolved to the best of my knowledge. I'd appreciate if some of
the ruby gurus could have a look at the outcome of my merge, though.
A little program that can be used to compare putatively similar files line
by line and field by field, ignoring small numeric differences or/and
different numeric formats.
