Looks quite interesting, probably easier to work with than the plain text
dumpers from hslf.dev :)

However, it doesn't work for files not in the current directory. Might also be
nice to have it dump to standard out by default, and only to a file if one is given.

Couple of things that would be nice:
 * report the type and length in hex also (makes it easier to find them in the file)
 * report the byte offset to the start of the record (hex and decimal)

Improved PPDump

New version of PPDump.
Improvements (Thanks to Nick Burch for suggestions):
 - moved to org.apache.poi.hslf.dev
 - print record header in hex format as an XML attribute
 - print offset to the record
 - if ppt contains pictures print short info for each picture
 - default output is to System.out

Great, thanks for that. I've renamed it to PPTXMLDump (to make it clearer what
it does), and applied to CVS
