Hi,
currently, Abiword is started with the help of a wrapper script, and the
actual binary is hidden inside $prefix/libexec.

The only thing this script really does is set ABISUITE_HOME.

Wouldn't it be better to hardcode the location into abiword (via a
#define set by the configure script) and eliminate the need for a
wrapper script? (possibly allow overriding the harcoded value with this
env. var)

That would also make debugging easier, because one could just use
$prefix/bin/abiword for the debugger, instead of looking for the binary
in $prefix/share/somewhere (yes, it's in libexec now... but still).

opinions?
