[sugar] Abiword on the OLPC?

>     fribidi-devel
>     libgsf-devel

> The first two, I was able to install easily with yum, but the last one

HI Justin,
          Please make a patch of any changes you make to te AbiWord code
base and send them to the Abiword Mailing list. We will roll
them into the sugar branch.

Also we need to merge the sugar branch into CVS HEAD so that all the fixes
we make to AbiWord itself get translated into the sugar build.

We've finally got the pango-based graphics class into a reasonable state.
With this in place we can leverage pango to support all the world's
languages. The current sugar branch does not have all these fixes.

Cheers

Martin
