AbiWord uses more of a methodology than an actual library. The code that I looked through appeared to be AbiWord-specific; the source comes with a "Hello, world" sample that contains its own application framework (af) directory and its own helloworld-specific code. A presentation on the methodology is online at http://www.abisource.com/papers/lwce2000ny/sld001.phtml.
