Add OOXML formats

[GoogleCodeExporter]

OOo 3.0 will add official support for Microsoft's own new standard formats,
i.e. .docx, .xlsx, etc.

Some OOo derivatives such as OxygenOffice and NeoOffice apparently already
include the experimental OOXML filters.

It should be a simple case of finding the right FilterName and add the new
formats to the registry.

It's beyond doubt. I have a 3.0 OOo on my PC if you ever need testing. It still 
has
problems with some of my .xslx files (frozen).

Here are the relevant FilterNames (detected at runtime with OOo 3.0 beta m2):

 * MS Word 2007 XML
 * MS Excel 2007 XML
 * MS PowerPoint 2007 XML

(Also attached a quick Python script that prints out all filter names.)

Wanted to try it with the latest OOo-Dev 3.0 (build DEV300_m17), but there is no
python delivered with it, and the 2.4 python doesn't seem to be able to connect.
Wait and see...

Added the new filters to the DefaultDocumentFormatRegistry. AFAIK they are 
import only.
