 The project  goal is to incorporate the functionality of interaction of
 the excel application (gnumeric) with the XO's journal. All the activities
 needs to register any change in that datastore (save and open files are
 made throw it).

 In order to apply this option, we need to call some python code from the
 implementation of the worksheet in C code. This is called embedded python
 in C.
 The steps followed to accomplish this goal came from the OLPC site
 recomendations, in wiki.laptop.org. The python script for the interaction
 with the journal's datastore can be found in here:
 http://wiki.laptop.org/go/Copy_to_and_from_the_Journal

 The changes in the gnumeric code are basically in the workbook-view.c and
 main-application.c to handle the open and save options.
 In the main-application.c the method gui_file_copy_from_journal uses the
 python api/c to make the call to the journal script. after this method and
 during the open of the file, an exception rises. Although we are not sure,
 we believe it has to do with the closure of the python enviroment after
 the finalize call. We need to erase this exception or may be just handle
 it.

 The error running in the XO is:
         gnumeric: Python/pystate.c:561 :PyGILState: The assertion
 'autoInterpreterState' has failed

 The configuration of the XO where we are getting the exception is:
         Python 2.5 (r25:51908, Oct 19 2007, 09:47:40)
         [gcc 4.1.2 20070925 (Red Hat 4.1.2-27)] on linux2
