This makes only sense for the subsequenttest files. For all other
files we want to test the normal filters directly, e.g. sc's
filters-test with sc/qa/unit/data.

I have been working a bit on the flat odf support in the c++ based
subsequenttests but I still miss at leat one dependency and at the
moment I have no idea which one. If you want to play a bit with it you
can run it in gdb and chech where the exception in
Desktop::loadComponentFromURl is coming from. Then you need to follow
this path a bit until you reache a point where a uno factory call
failed and returnend an empty uno interface.

If it makes sense at all( see michael's comment) can only be checked
after it works.

Regards,
Markus
