Sorry. Bad suggestion. I went away, bought a coffee, had an epiphany,
thought of a far better solution to my problem... but thank you for the
stimulus.

As you will, but I'll hang on to it for a while. I've been finding it
tremendously useful. I've finally managed to arrange AbiWord/XDarwin into
a MacOSX bundle that is fully relocatable, drag'n'drop install & everything.
Very cool. I just have to work out a Mac-friendly way of installing
plugins.
What's slightly frustrating is that although I can double-click on AbiWord
documents to start AbiWord, AbiWord starts with an empty document,
oblivious to the document that was clicked. (This is about as far from
surprising you can get.)
Speaking before I think,
