oh i didn't notice that FORCE2ARCHIVE would prevent MSI from being
built, but looking at the actual instsetoo_native/util/makefile.mk it
overrides PKGFORMAT, so it's not a surprise :)

if we want to build a MSI anyway, then building the archive in
dev-install makes a lot of sense.

"build" should build the install set(s) that the user has told configure
to build with the --with-package-format option.

apparently that defaults to nothing for Linux and to MSI for WNT.

for building everything except instset there is already a
build-packimages target.

i, for one, certainly don't. which is why i've implemented dev-install
with FORCE2ARCHIVE, after finding that modifying ooinstall to call the
installer with --format=installed didn't yield success.

that's a good question, it depends on what you want to test;
for testing office functionality it's probably easier to use zips
because they're trivial to install (just unzip) and use a private
profile directory automatically, but they don't have bundled MSVC
runtimes or system integration so you can't test that
