While we're at it, would it be ok if we moved the WordPerfect importer into the main tree? It really is a core piece of functionality IMO (and at this point is quite mature). It annoys me to no end when I see people claim that AbiWord does not have WordPerfect support (because they didn't download the plugins package).

We can always add the option to not compile it in if the libwpd dependancy is a problem for other developers.

Thanks,
