Features fall into three categories.

1) Features we are working hard to add right now, such as dialogs.
2) Features we will never add, such as Autosummarize
3) Features we don't have plans to work on, but are available for someone
who does.

Most items fall into category 3. If somebody wants to make a command line
conversion tool out of the AbiSource and wv codebases, more power to you.

Meanwhile, 0.7.6 will be out soon with much better clipboard support.
