Trying to build libreoffice 4.0.3.3 with liborcus 0.5.1 and that

You can't build the 4.0 branch with 0.5.1. You need to use 0.3.0.
As package maintainer, I have been repeatedly nagged about the versioning of
the essentially TDF-hosted but officially external libs (not only orcus, but
also wp*, cmis and friends). "Proper" versioning would go with full so-name
versioning for ABI-changes etc.
FWIW, liborcus clearly defines API version. The one for 4.0 is
liborcus-4.0, and the one for the master is liborcus-6.0. Is there
anything else you are suggesting we do?
AFAIK Rene is retrofitting this somewhat on the
Debian packages, but it would be better if this would happen directly upstream.
If we dont want to do that work, wouldnt it make sense though to at least
detect the version in the configure-script to safe newcomers frustrations?
Sure. That would be a great idea. I have no objection.
