I'm stupified to present to you the long-overdue 0.7 edition of External
Editor on this fine first day of April, 2003. The most distinguishing new
feature is the addition of support for MS Office. I also hopefully managed
to fix the Windows build so that it supports ssl...

Here's the whole scoop:

    - Added working distutils setup for Unix.

    - You can now specify from the server that the helper app should
      borrow a lock by passing borrow_lock=1 via the request, thus
      suppressing the dialog box which appears by default. Thanks
      to Shane Hathaway.

    - Improved open file check in Word and Powerpoint plugins 
      thanks to Yura Petrov.

    - Added plugins for Microsoft Word, Excel and Powerpoint.

    - Added the man page from the Debian distro. Thanks go out to
      Federico Sevilla III and Andreas Tille
