Building LO from source

[Ismet Bahadir]

Hi Regis,

I didn't use --without-doxygen option. I'll add this, hopefully, it will 
compile much faster.

The institution I'm giving LO is asking to remove some of the "apps" 
that they are not going to use. Those apps may stay in the compiled 
package, but I don't want users to see those apps. It's like installing 
MS Office with unchecking MS Access. The office software is still fully 
functional, but the users can't use or even see Access app. This is what 
I want to do with LO.

Regards
