Agreed. It's now even few... I would say just
"standard". But it's very light by gnome standards :)
I guess than other than zlib, libxml2 should be
optional (exchangeable by expat) and glib-2 trimmed
and embedded into the lib (I guess that it only uses
lists, hashes, etc. so it should be more or less the
same work than with the old libole2).
That's only if we're going to include the lib in
abiword. If we're just going to link to it, I would
prefer to not do libxml2 optional and share exactly
the same lib as gnumeric

And I've not even read the code, so all that is
probably just bullshit
