That may be too bundled (specially in the case of HEAD but we're talking
about STABLE), but wth.

For me, it's two less items in a list on a pwetty basic shell script, so
I don't mind at all to keep providing rpms with bidi and without bidi on
STABLE.

if --target ARCH works fine for cross compiling to athlon, sparc, etc,
it's just a matter of adding a couple of items to another list on the
same shell script.

It does work out of the box, maybe not with make ...=rpm but it does
work with out of the box rh7.3 by adding abiword.spec to the root of the
tar.gz that has the source.
