There have been a couple attempts to refactor the documentation - if you
want to see immediate improvements, make patches to the files in the
"abiword-docs" module (this is all in ABW format) I think there is a
DocBook manual started but not a suitable replacement yet. Build docs
should be in abi/docs and should be relatively up to date. ./configure
--help also can help with such technical matters.
