It is possible to embed EMF data into WMF files. This technique is able to
circumvent the WMF format limitations in certain scenarios. 

Impact of this patch: Some third-party OLE servers provide higher quality
representation data in EMF format than in WMF format. The OLE handlers usually
provide the representation data in WMF format, but embed the superior EMF data
in the WMF stream. 

When displaying an OLE object with OleDraw() or IViewObject functions, the EMF
data is used. OOO, however, accesses the data streams directly and can only
display the limited WMF representation (missing unicode characters, bezier 
curves)

The patch enables to read the EMF data, if available, and thus improves the
display quality of certain OLE objects.

The patch also includes an enhancement to embed EMF data when exporting to WMF.
I am not sure, though, if this has a benefit in practical use. Some tests
indicate, that this embedded EMF data is not used, when OOO acts as a OLE
server. This can be achieved in a different way, but that should be a different
issue.
