Well, only if you get bonobo compiling on windows first, which would
probably be a major effort porting ORBit over.

Additionally it's probably not very easy to integrate a gtk app on
windows with wxwwindows.

It would _very_ likely be much easier to create an abiword COM control
(For COM savy hackers, that is).
