OpenOffice files are actually ZIP files (more specifically, JAR files, 
meaning a ZIP file with a particular directory layout and a manifest) 
containing a bunch of XML files.  I'm actually about a third of the 
way to a working gb.zip component (using libzip) which I'm writing 
just for this purpose.  But I imagine the XML stuff will be the hard 
part.

In the meantime, temporary directories are your best option.
