When building the OpenOffice_Dev target please skip the systemintegration and
the whole native installation process. Instead just create a file archive
(zip,gz) which simply extracts a ready to use OpenOffice_Dev.

Issue 67077 needs to be fixed for this, to avoid conflicts between the different
developer snapshots.

Reasons for this change request:

1) Installing a developersnapshot with systemintegration does rule out 
your regular working version of OpenOffice on your computer. You 
automatically get the snapshot when doubleclicking files on windows for 
example. Thus you easily can use the snapshot by accident for important 
work, which may cause great trouble to you as a snapshot could be very 
unstable.

2) Currently you can not install two different snapshots in parallel. 
Thus you are forced to deinstall a newer snapshot (173 from the master 
trunk) for example if you want to check a snapshot from any CWS which is 
still on 172. So one disadvantage is the extra work here (waiting for 
the slow deinstallation) and the other disadvantage is, that you will 
not be able to compare the behaviour of two different snapshots easily.

3) Currently you need administrator rights on your machine if you want 
to install a developer snapshots.

4) Just extracting a ready to use snapshot would be faster then the 
installation process which again lowers the hurdle to fetch and check a 
snapshot. Also the time for deinstallation is shorter as you only will 
need to delete the directory.

5) On unix you will not need any extra scripts or further expert 
knowledge to get the snapshot running. Just extract and start the office.
