I doubt that Helmar's application only uses C-based sal API after 
initial setup (how would it communicate with LO then? hand-crafted 
binary UNO calls? and in case it does not communicate with LO via UNO at 
all after setup, why set up the UNO connection in the first place)?  In 
which case that wrapper would buy you nothing.
