=== Background information ===
==== Spreadsheet Excel Writer ====
This package has a lot of hard to fix bugs, and is somewhat aged.

Our options are: 
  * a complete rewrite from scratch with PHP 5
  * incremental attempts to port the newer changes across from perl
  * write oodles of test cases and see which of the above two scares us less at the end of it

See [[Spreadsheet Excel Writer]] for a suggestion on how to write cross language tests.
