I'm usually happy to help (unlike fjf's "always happy
to help" ;-), and since I've written the plugin
architecture and most of the plugins, feel free to ask
me any questions you might have. FJF did a bang-up job
on the plugin build system, and is the de-facto source
of information on that.
It's not clear that what you want is best-accomplished
(or even within the realm of accomplishable things)
using a plugin.

You have to have the same version of AbiWord as you do
AbiWord-plugins. They have to be built with the same
build options (--enable-debug for one, you have to
--enable-debug for the other). Any mismatches and
you'll get undefined symbol errors like the above.
