openoffice.org doesn't build on amd64

Bug Description

If at all possible, we want to provide a complete Desktop install, including
openoffice.org, for our amd64 offering.

Possible strategies include:

- Building a 32-bit openoffice.org on amd64, supported by ia32-libs
- Building a static oo.o (less preferable)
- Porting oo.o (increasingly unlikely)

Thom is investigating the first option

I'm fixing this through the same build method as ia32-libs, but the fetch-and-
build script had some problems, making it build the .debs, then removing them
afterwards.

I'm hoping to have a version needing some NEW love during today.

OK, bear in mind that the preview release is VERY CLOSE :-)

Openoffice.org-amd64 got accepted last night. The -2 fixed a serious problem
(depends on ia32-libs rather than ia32-libs-openoffice.org).

Closing the bug.
