I'm sorry if I sound overly critical, but this is all insane. libgsf
shouldn't have any awareness of AbiWord - unless you feel like adding
"Makefile.abi" in the top directory, as with wv, but that's something we
could add to libgsf after we make it a peer directory - just as we'll need
to add the generated auto* build system (stuff you certainly don't want
in raw GNOME CVS, unless you enjoy death threats).

As I mentioned the other day, I have a patch against ABI-GTK2-PORT/abi to
build against peer libgsf, so if anyone feels like experimenting...
