Here's a patch for the "Help->Report A bug" menu item. The version number, platform &
compile flags are automatically transferred to BugZilla, eliminating typing and user
error. Also eliminated is the confusion over which build is in use (gtk, gnome, bidi,
etc.).
This requires one critical update to BugZilla for usability! The link:
"Bug writing guidelines"
Should be more prominent, and point to the AbiSource specific page.

PS: It would be nice if enter_bug.cgi passed the version number through the
product selection page. Maybe I'll add that to BugZilla.
