Coffice milestone 2

[Shantanu Tushar Jha]

Great news!

Also to add to that, in the branch active-calligratouch-shantanu we have
working qtquick component for viewing text documents. What this means is
that you can just put that in your QtQuick app for a platform and voila!
you can view text docs :)

I and Sujith are working on the element for spreadsheet and presentations
