IIRC the streams are compressed with mszip compression, which these days
is probably documented if you google for "mszip compression", e.g.
http://download.microsoft.com/download/5/D/D/5DD33FDF-91F5-496D-9884-0A0B0EE698BB/%5BMS-MCI%5D.pdf
The code itself is pre-documentation, so riddled a bit with guess-work,
otherwise you'll have to ask a more specific question, the code does
have some comments in it which may help.
libgsf has a "gsf-vba-dump" tool which might be exactly what you want if
you're looking for a standalone tool that just extracts vba from a
pre-xml MSOffice document.
