OO Eclipse

As some of my fellow developers at Novell have already explained it: we currently had a week of Innovation time.

I have decided to move the sources of the OOEclipse integration plugin to an ooo-build Git repo. Call it a fork if you like, but my aim here is to allow other developers to contribute easily to the project without having to sign a SCA.
