And what is bigscreen? VGA? SVGA? XGA? or maybe 1680x1050 which I use 
under OE/x86 chroot system?

Instead of using crypto names like smallscreen/bigscreen we should use 
MACHINE_ namespace instead:

MACHINE_SCREEN_RESOLUTION = "vga/svga/qvga/xga/wxga/hvga" etc
MACHINE_SCREEN_DPI = "100/280/75"

Because Neo1973 is smallscreen (2.8") but VGA (so bigscreen). I do not 
feel good with using full AbiWord on it but probably AbiWord embedded 
will be OK.
