Why to use xserver? Since we now have gtk-2.0 more or less xp,
it's just a question of time, when will the gnome-lib's, that
are needed to build gnumeric be xp too. (Actually some of them
are quite easy to port just now...)
gnumeric could than be compiled both statically and dynamically, so this
shouldn't be the problem either.

And therefore you need AbiCalc?
(Anyway, I'm not opposing you do it, It just seems to, that there are
other things - like tables and footnotes in Abiword, etc. - that are
much more important, at least for now.)
