Description

Installation of configuration data particles does not use the
configimport tool any more.

This was changed so that it is not necessary any more to run our own
binaries during postinstall. After pkgchk had been removed recently,
configimport was the last one dropped.

Instead of merging the configuration particle files from the various
packages during postinstall, the particles are now installed directly
into the directory hierarchy under
$(install)/share/registry/modules/org/openoffice/. In this hierarchy
each configuration component is represented by a directory, which may
contain multiple xcu files. These files are merged together at runtime.

The specifications have been changed accordingly.
