    The plugins are operational under Windows (for me). Not all the plugins are
    available, but the ones that are should work. I didn't try the plugins until
    around the 0.99.1 release, so you may want to upgrade to the just tagged
    0.99.2 release (I have compiled most of the plugins and they work for me
    with the 0.99.2 build). I'm not sure what problems you are having, but I did
    find when 1st trying them, that some of the plugins are more specific about
    the AbiWord.exe binary being used, specifically, they will fail to
    load (probably with an error dialog about some entry point not found) unless
    the plugin & AbiWord.exe binary match. And as I mentioned, I have only recently
    been using them, so there may have been other progress since you last tried that
    I'm not aware of [currently I know of only one bug, and it is listed in bugtrack,
    involving the image magick plugin and the 1st image inserted].

    [I don't know how much of the desired functionality is actually implemented in
     all the plugins, only that of the ones I've compiled, enough is implemented to
     be useful, at least for me.]
