 A Mac OS X native version of Abiword has not been released since 2.4.5.
 However, GTK now has a quartz backend that does not require X11.

 I'd like to propose that the abiword package be updated to 2.6 and the Mac
 OS X native version be abandoned. People who want to avoid X11 can build
 the GTK version against GTK/Quartz.

 There are a few issues in the abiword codebase that are keeping me from
 building abiword 2.6 against GTK/Quartz. See
 [http://bugzilla.abisource.com/show_bug.cgi?id=11793 Abisource bug
 #11793].
