Any LO extension .oxt file (not just those relating to dictionaries) can 
be installed in one of three ways, per user, "shared", or "bundled".

To install shared, run LO's 'unopkg --shared add ...' for installing 
that extension.

To install bundled, unzip the .oxt into a sub-dir of LO's 
share/extensions/ dir.
