Make it a user-selectable item (put it in AbiWord.Profile?). I don't
have a Windows box, have no intention of using one, and have no
personal need to accommodate Windows. Others *do* have this need.
Since AbiWord is smart enough to detect its own files, can the Windows
version open files with *no* extension and add it on Save?
