Description
Using Microsoft PowerPoint to convert PowerPoint files is problematic: PowerPoint may crash or prompt for user input, neither of which are acceptable for a server-side application.
Using OpenOffice will be portable to linux and should be more manageable (unfortunately with a drop in quality).
jodconverter binaries are not yet checked in, so webmc now requires this to compile. jodconverter is LGPL, but that should be acceptable for the WebMC sample.
