He changed the primary site (the one that gets selected if people just
click next without regard to options) to use the AbiWord site, only the
mirrors (which neccesarily can't be the AbiWord site, ie the primary
site) were left unchanged; in case one never installed on Windows, the
user can select any base URL to download the dictionaries from, however
a set of (initially only sourceforge) sites are preset, with the 1st in
the list being the default selected one. The above patch changes that
to include the AbiWord site as the default one, which was not originally
included because at the time I was not aware of it (or did not see the
tarballs there) and I purposely did not want to add extra bandwidth
usage to the main site when sf has download specific sites.

As for the glib files, originally the link referred to a file that was
under our control (within our sf area) though I never got around to
updating it with the mirror support. The original download was the
minimal that we needed, not current form. [If we are referring to a
file not maintained by others, I respectfully ask you rename the .woe32
to .win32, as I find that name offensive.]

Thanks,
Jeremy
