So, collab use flag should install asio.

But "collab" needs "plugins" USE flag to be set, the problem is that I don't know how to prevent people from enabling it without "plugins" :-/

Does any other team member have any idea on this?

No, you can "try" to compile Abiword without plugins USE flag. Just try it.

An idea for that is make a dependence of "asio" when collab USE flag is enabled.

I was talking based on what I see in ebuild:

src_configure() {
        local plugins=""

        if use plugins; then
[...]

                use collab && plugins="${plugins} collab"
                use gnome && plugins="${plugins} goffice"
[...]

Then, it's only really enabled with "plugins" USE flag is set (or it should)
