Bidi will work fine on BSD. Spell Checking also works now after the
0.9.6 release. Perl Scripting can work, but some people have reported
problems getting it to build. The reason for this is that Perl defines
its own boolean type and dumbly calls it 'bool', which conflicts with
the C++ keyword. I *think* that I fixed this problem, but I dunno
because I have no BSD box to test on. LibWMF only works in DEBUG buidls,
but if you have a recent version of ImageMagick, you might want to try
the ImageMagick plugin for Abi since it can use LibWMF.
