As I mentioned in one of the many, many threads over the past few days, I'm 
not sure why we'd want to do this:

  http://www.abisource.com/mailinglists/abiword-dev/02/Apr/0922.html

I think a good case can be made for keeping them separate, so I'm interested 
in hearing the rationale for the merge.  Is there an email thread (or design 
RFP) that I missed on this? 

However, if it turns out that some (or all) plugins *do* belong in the abi/* 
tree, please segregate them appropriately:

  abi/af/xap/plugins/* ... useful for multiple apps
  abi/wp/plugins/* ... just for AbiWord

If the main concern is that some impexp code should migrate to plugins (I 
agree), then perhaps they should stay where they are:

  abi/wp/impexp/xp/*

Of course, that last option would require some definite makefile trickery, 
since some of the impexp code -- for example, the .abw and .rtf logic -- 
should *always* be statically linked into the binary (IMNSHO).
