SO_PACK should only be necessary when building the withJRE variant

OK, so there's a bug. It should only attempt to include the JRE when
you build "openofficewithjre" target - so apparently the Product name
used when building the dev version triggers the inclusion of the JRE.

Very likely because of the JAVAPRODUCT 1 in the openoffice.lst for the
dev product.
Also XPDINSTALLER is set to 1 (IIRC this is used to create a java
based installer that installs the RPMs - and thus not really needed
either)

To build a single language: dmake openofficedev_<language> or build
the languagepack with dmake oodevlanguagepack_<language>

Esp. things to test: How webhelp works with dev-versions (is it
supported at all, or shall users download offline help for those)
