abiword-plugins is now available in MarcusCom CVS repository...

[Jeremy Messenger]

Hello,

I just have committed the abiword-plugins, a new port, in MarcusCom CVS  
repository. Before, you ask me if I am going to create a 2.0.x (stable  
version). No, I am not going to work on this one. I only will work on  
anything for 2.1.x (unstable version), so when 2.2 is released and this  
abiword-plugins will be going in the offical ports tree. Unless, anyone  
want to take care of 2.0.x, be my guest to copy, tweak, test and commit  
it. :-)

Keep in mind, some plugins are not stable so don't put your high hope on  
anything. I have put some comments in the Makefile, so be sure to open  
Makefile with your favorite editors to read stuff. There have some kind of  
comments that will tell it's untest, crash, unable to load, some port need  
to be update or port first before some plugins will work and etc. If some  
plugins that don't get fix by time when 2.2 is released, then those will  
be remove or disable.

Two plugins that will crash are magick and kword, the backtraces are  
available at http://people.freebsd.org/~mezz/gdb/ for anyone with the  
skill to read, fix and provide the patch(es). ;-)

There are few plugins that I have missed, so feel free to dig more and  
provide the patch(es). I didn't add html and xhtml, because it's already  
included in the AbiWord by default without those plugins. If html and  
xhtml plugins have the more function, then just let me know and I can add  
them.

I think, that's all for now and I might forgot some. If my English grammar  
isn't clear enough, please feel free to ask and one of my team or me will  
try to explain better. :-P

Cheers,
Mezz
