If you are on dialup you probably just want to grab Abiword.exe on its
own, ideally one that has been UPX compressed before hand.
Jeremy has done a fantastic job providing lots of different builds of
abiword, is it time for the standalone binary to be promoted as an extra
small demo version of abiword with a few features missing?
Which reminds me, I have to check if Daniel Glassey was able to get the
mingwin version of Abiword to build into one single .exe file
