With this setting I was able to build and install a working version of
Abiword-3.0.0. I am still playing with plugins because the configure
file is not very clear.

The only plugin installed was opendocument.

At this stage I could either enable all plugins (or as many stable as
possible) or disable them completely and let abiword-plugins do its
normal job. I would gladly receive feedback on this issue.

In the meantime I will rebuild tomorrow with:

CONFLICTS=      abiword-plugins-[0-9]* abiword-personal-[0-9]* abiword2-[0-9]*
CONFIGURE_ARGS+=     --enable-plugins="yes"

This should build all plugins.
