Patch against OpenOffice.org (1.1.3-8ubuntu2) that specify correct fonts in
VCL.xcu, for the Greek language.

The patch updates the Greek section in VCL.xcu
(/usr/lib/openoffice/share/registry/data/org/openoffice/VCL.xcu)
by adding the FreeSans/FreeSerif/FreeMono font in the list. It makes sure to
specify FreeSans, when a SansSerif font is needed and so on.

It has been extensively verified and works beautifully on my system.

The change in VCL.xcu does not affect any other language, but only the Greek
locale.

I also upgrade the locale specifier from "el-GR" to "el" (that is,
- <node oor:name="el-GR" oor:op="replace">
+ <node oor:name="el" oor:op="replace">)
The reason is, Greek is spoken in Greece (GR) and Cyprus (CY).
Keeping "el-GR" at this point would not apply Cypriot users!

I understand at these last moments of the release of Ubuntu you are very busy
fixing stuff.
If you can add this one, you would have resolved all outstanding localisation
bugs for the Greek language!
