>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.
        

cheers
