I've gone ahead and done it. POIDocument is now in main, along with half 
of its tests (the other tests depend on hslf/hwpf, so had to stay in 
scratchpad). HSSFWorkbook has also been updated to use POIDocument


This has allowed me to rip out lots of code from one of my apps, as it now 
just has to deal with POIDocument for getting metadata :)

While I'm on the subject of getting my own codebase down in size, what do 
people think about a POI text extractor for hssf? We currently have a text 
extractor for hslf, hwpf and hdgf. For hssf, everyone's forced to write 
their own based on hssf.dev.HSSF, so having a common one as standard might 
be handy for users. What do we all think?
