testing commonsallayout branch

[Khaled Hosny]

Hi,

I think the daily builds would be the better as they should have any new
fixes:
http://dev-builds.libreoffice.org/daily/master/

To enable the new layout you need to set SAL_USE_COMMON_LAYOUT
environment variable, to disable it you need to unset the variable
(setting it to 0 will NOT disable it as the code just check the presence
of the variable not its value).

Regards,
Khaled
