Okay, tho I dont think an static version should be default, most linux
distros cant built it.

Yes ive found out :)

Yes I just have one prob now, and that is how to make Abiword find the
AbiSuite dir and the fonts dir. It would be best if I could set this at
compile time, then the stampede users wont have to do stuff to make it
work.
Now where should I change stuff?
