Bug 193776: [patch] tweak editors/openoffice-4 to use internal saxon to allow
it to coexist with scilab
https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=193776


------- Additional Comments from Don Lewis <truckman at FreeBSD.org>
The editors/openoffice-4 port currently depends on textproc/saxon-devel and
relies on features that are only present in this version of saxon.  The recent
update to math/scilab added a dependency to textproc/saxon-he, and it requires
features that are only present in this version.  Unfortunately saxon-devel and
saxon-he conflict because they both want to install
/usr/local/share/java/classes/saxon9-xqj.jar, which means that openoffice-4 and
scilab can't both be installed on the same machine.

The attached patch removes the openoffice-4 --with-system-saxon and
--with-saxon-jar configure options so that it will use a private copy of saxon
and remove the conflict.
