I've checked Marcel's suggestion on a -stable machine, and it works
provided that:

  You extract the libs via unzip -L setup.zip 
  cd to the directory
  export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=.

the key seems to be to unzip the libs first.

One nice thing that putting things in /usr/compat:  While soffice keeps
it's own copy of the libs and correctly sets the LD_LIBRARY_PATH, the
"setup" utility doesn't.  So, if you've done a network install and have
to run setup, you'll need to explicitly set your path, e.g.,

  export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$LD_LIBRARY_PATH:/usr/local/lib/Office51/lib/

before running setup to set up your personal space (if you haven't put
them in /usr/compat).
