both looks dead, I think we can safely mark them as broken,

There is a newer version of it (0.8) maybe it works with recent boost, I CC
maintainer (danfe@) for him to tell us if he knows

For libreoffice a solution could be to reuse the bundled version for 3.4.5 (stop
using the one from the ports, 3.5 build with 1.48, please to not take
libreoffice in account while working on this patch, we are able to fix it when
needed.

and because I don't have time to work much on libreoffice either, let's CC
office@ for other member to maybe work on it :D

Let's CC kde@ for that one :D
