>Description:
	gnumeric built against the latest libgsf package fails to read excel
	spreadsheets (and possibly other types).
	The excel plugin tries to use the gsf_xml_in_parse() function that
	no longer exists in libgsf (replaced by gsf_xml_in_doc_parse)

	
>How-To-Repeat:
	Try to open an excel file with latest gnumeric. Note that it fails
	with unresolved symbol:

city-art% gnumeric ~/traffic.xls
Reading file:///u/staff/mark/traffic.xls
E Unable to open module file "/usr/pkg/lib/gnumeric/1.4.3/plugins/excel/excel".
  E /usr/pkg/lib/gnumeric/1.4.3/plugins/excel/excel.so: Undefined PLT symbol "gsf_xml_in_parse" (symnum = 117)
E Unable to open module file "/usr/pkg/lib/gnumeric/1.4.3/plugins/excel/excel".
  E /usr/pkg/lib/gnumeric/1.4.3/plugins/excel/excel.so: Undefined PLT symbol "gsf_xml_in_parse" (symnum = 117)

	
>Fix:
	Adapt excel (and openoffice and xml_sax) plugins to the api change
	or update to gnumeric 1.6.
