Announce: AbiWord 2.2.4 autopackage 0.0 "POKEY"

Hi,

i'd like to announce a first, very crude autopackage of AbiWord 2.2.4.

                 POKEY - "Proof of Koncept - ey!?"

The package contains abiword-gnome, so make sure you have the gnome libs
on your system.

Autopackage [1] is a distribution independent packaging system, just
- Download
- Make sure the file has the executable bit set and
- Either doubleclick it in your filemanager or run it in your terminal

One of the really cool things about autopackage is, that if you don't
trust the packager (or have other concerns) you can install the packages
to your home directory. No need to have root access.

Known problems:
- Dependencies are not yet resolved correctly (missing skeletons)
  so it might install but not run.
- Templates are not packaged.
- Many more for sure, please tell me about it.

Best,
