As talked today on IRC with jean and uwog, we thought would be better to
post here the patches from different distributions that could get
upstreamed if possible.

They are:
- gcc-4.6 compilation issues: It has been reported to:
http://bugzilla.abisource.com/show_bug.cgi?id=13066

Attached patch fixes the problem

- autosave.diff is a patch from debian to enable autosave by default ->
per personal experience, I also agree with enabling this as a good and
safer default :)

- ctrl-comma-subscript.diff -> debian patch to make ctrl-comma (C-,) a
shortcut for subscript text.

- fully-link-plugins.diff -> debian patch to ensure plugins are linked
properly as explained in patch comments

- link-plugins-with-cxx.diff -> another debian patch for linking plugins
better

- mime-types-desktop.diff -> add more handled mimetypes

- mime-types.diff -> support mimes added by preceding patch

- libwpd-0.9.diff -> this one is important to let abiword use latest
(and only upstream maintained version) libwpd version.

- abiword-libpng15.patch -> openbsd patch to fix compilation against
libpng-1.5

- abiword-libpng15-2.patch -> another openbsd patch to fix compilation
against libnpng15

Thanks for taking care
