I belive that would be in the wv source tree, which is distributed
separately from the AbiSuite source. You can get it from our CVS
server, or from the same placed you got the 0.7.6 tarball.

Later, almost always later. The "releases" of mswordview don't coincide
at all with AbiWord releases. We often develop features side-by-side,
host the wv CVS sources, and release those AbiSource "known good" snapshots
when we release the AbiSuite stuff.

This could make it difficult for package maintainers. :) Some day,
when the API is stable between the two packages, and I'm not sure how
close this is, we'll be able to depend on known releases of libwv.

On the other hand, AbiWord now links statically with the wv sources,
so it doesn't require any of our "snapshots" to be installed, just
available (in a directory called "wv" as a peer to the "abi" tree)
when it's built. This will change in the future sometime, I hope,
when we work with official releases.
