One detail that immediately caught my attention is that the connectivity/source/drivers/tdeab code is obviously based on old connectivity/source/drivers code that still uses active UNO component registration.  This would need to be adapted.  See <http://wiki.services.openoffice.org/wiki/Passive_Component_Registration> for the concepts, <https://issues.apache.org/ooo/show_bug.cgi?id=113189> for the issue that implemented it, and <http://cgit.freedesktop.org/libreoffice/core/commit/?id=9551bf5a1ee5c9275a26f8ec4021e0b7f5665176> for the changeset containing the relevant modifications to connectivity/source/drivers.
