avsm 062c231a3b initial import of wv-0.6.5
--

wv is a library which allows access to Microsoft Word files. It can
load and parse the word 2000, 97, 95 and 6 file formats. These are
the file formats known internally as Word 9, 8, 7 and 6. Work is
underway to support reading earlier formats as well: Word 2 docs
are converted to plaintext.

This package has some pretty dodgy temp-file creation routines.
Some of them have been patched away by wrapping them around mktemp(1)
calls, but some remain. Set the TMPDIR environment variable to a
unique directory to avoid this problem.
The maintainer says that they are rewriting this package completely to
avoid these problems in the future.
