[Corpora-List] Tools for batch conversion Word to UTF-8.

[Tino Didriksen]

Modern MS Word .docx files are ZIPs with XML documents, which don't require
much scripting to extract plain text from.

Older .doc files will need a trip through some tool. It is possible to use
OpenOffice/LibreOffice in headless mode for this, and OOo/LO's Office
reader gets most of the doc format right.
