I will see what I can salvage from the work I have done on this prior 
the 0.7.9 release. I could, though, use some help with the BiDi 
work, as it means changes at lot of different places in the code (run 
classes, line class, block class, cursor drawing, save/load 
mechanism, etc.)

First of all, however, I was wandering whether the BiDi support 
should be build into the standard build, or whether it should be 
plugged in through conditional compilation. I think in the short term 
the latter is the better option allowing the work to be done without 
impact on the rest of the development. In long term I do not know; 
lot of AbiWord users, if not majority, probably will not need this, 
and it does impact the drawing performance at least a bit. What do 
you guys think?
