[Libreoffice] [Windows] Executable name and file association

Renaming the executables from s*.exe to l*.exe has been discussed and apart
from the differentiation of office suites it has a practical implication for
Windows users:

An extension (e.g. ods) is associated with an exe file (e.g. scalc.exe). If
the user has installed OpenOffice AND LibreOffice, the extension can only be
associated to one of the executables.

Furthermore if a user is testing OpenOffice AND LibreOffice but his current
default application is MS Office, that means that both OOo and LO could be
used through the "Open with" option IF the executable name was not same
since.

(Actually I just renamed scalc.exe to lcalc.exe and it seems to work
perfectly :) )
