Yes, I might take up the challenge :) . I noticed that John Clark has
taken up the offer as well and has already begun the process, ... which
may be a very good thing for you and Abiword users, as I a) have
absolutely no prior experience with building Slackware packages and b)
am in the midst of an upgrade process, which triggered the problem in
the first place -- perhaps not the best situation or environment for
providing a faithful package. However, I'm curious, and would love to be
able to contribute; so, if I produce anything useful and there aren't
too many cooks in the kitchen...
