[ANN] XLSX Library ready for a test - Looking for testers

[Roger Eller]

Zyrip,

The report looks similar in Excel 2010 (Win), and Libre Office 4.3 (Mac).
Mac Preview didn't render any of the totals.

I had to reduce the font size in Libre Office to have a similar appearance,
otherwise the totals were shown as ####.
There was one difference

content.
And lastly, the sample executable should either show progress, or use a
busy cursor when generating the report.

VERY NICELY DONE!!  This library could be quite useful in business apps!
