This is very cool. OK send in a patch to the AbiWord-dev list when you are
basically ready and we'll put the Word Perfect importer behind an
#ifdef DEBUG
directive. That way you can maintain your code base against the current
CVS and work on your code in DEBUG builds. When we're happy that the code
is ready for prime time we'll remove the #ifdef DEBUG and give it to our
users.
Cheers!
