I'm going to make so that we *still* install the global template file,
but on Unix we also check for a ~/.AbiSuite/templates/normal.awt first.
I hope that this sounds reasonable to you and I hope to have this done
in a little bit. It's on my radar now.

Using AbiWord to open the normal.awt file, wherever it may lie, doesn't
sound too difficult of an operation to me, and as a user (I actually do
use AbiWord quite a lot) I wouldn't mind doing this. However, I'd love
to hear suggestions as to what we should do to make this easier,
especially because it'd be totally trivial to implement.
Thanks,
Dom
