    My recent work on enabling plugins to link statically against the
    abiword executable is mostly complete now, at least for the unix
    platform. abi/ac-helpers/abi-plugins.m4 will need further work with
    library dependencies.

    Best way to do this is to configure & make the plugins first and then
    let abi's configure auto-detect which plugins built okay, i.e.:

    # ../../abiword-plugins/configure --with-builtin-plugins ...
    # make
    # cd ../abi
    # ../../abi/configure --with-builtin-plugins ...
    # make
    # make install

    Also, you can specify plugins by their directory name:

    # ../../abi/configure --with-builtin-plugins=xhtml,xsl-fo

    Regards, Frank
