Just one note of caution: abiword sets various compiler flags that wv may
not. In Linux (though not BeOS) it sets -D_POSIX_SOURCE -D_BSD_SOURCE,
the latter making available things like caddr_t, so to mimic abiword's
behaviour you may need to specify various things when configuring, e.g.:

cd wv
CPPFLAGS="-D_POSIX_SOURCE -D_BSD_SOURCE" ./configure
make

Probably won't affect you, though.

Their consultation consisted chiefly in propounding and supporting, for
the thousandth time, each his favourite theories.
