Thanks for your patch, I have pushed it to master (towards LO 4.4) now, 
<http://cgit.freedesktop.org/libreoffice/core/commit/?id=45ba4d79d968f81f74ef0c4588fd15b1ce91153f> 
"fdo#36313: allow passing FilterOptions via cli."  (Assuming the "Tomas 
Hlavaty <tomas.hlavaty at knowledgetools.de>" identity is covered by 
<http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/libreoffice/2012-January/023333.html> 
"[Libreoffice] License statement" on file at 
<https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Development/Developers>.)

However, see my remark at 
<https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=36313#c17>:  "I am not 
sure whether the fix [...] is already a practical-enough solution?"
