[Libreoffice] Installation instructions for source code release

[Francois Tigeot]

Hi!

Now that LibreOffice 3.3.0.4 has been released, I'd like to have a go
at building it from source.

How does one install LibreOffice from the source tarballs ? Are there
some instructions somewhere ?

There are 21 different files such as "libreoffice-artwork-3.3.0.4.tar.bz2"
Do they all need to be downloaded ? And then, what should I do ?
Should they be combined in a giant directory or processed separately ?

I'm a little confused by the sheer number of files to download. Wouldn't
it be easier to just provide one giant archive, like it is done for the
different binary platforms ?

Forgive me if this list is not the place to ask this sort of questions,
but the only installation instructions available on the web site are for
the binary packages and the user list wasn't too helpful either.
