zlib is already an abiword requirement. we even include it in the
sources for people who don't have it (== windows developers). However,
displaying the images would take some work in the word importer code.
Dom would be the person who knew what he was talking about for that
area.
I think the idea would be to take the wmf image, convert it to png
using libwmf and associated tools, and then display it in abiword via
the png display mechanism.
