Footnote type

Hi,

In our printed publications it is common to have two types of footnotes,
rather than one type only. The first type is called a "footnote", and
usually is numbered 1, 2, 3, .... The other type is called a
"crossreference", and usually is numbered a, b, c, .... Both of them
occur at the bottom of each page, and a mix of them can be found on one
page.

Libabiword now supports one type of footnote. Is it a lot of work to
have it support two types? If it is not too difficult I could make a
try. Any pointers as to what parts of the code need to be changed are
welcomed. I am not referring to code to have this functionality exposed
in the menu, only that the library supports it, and that there is a
method that can be invoked to insert a "crossreference".

Are there any workarounds to have the current library recognized two
types of footnotes?

Thanks!

Teus.
