[KDE-Sonnet] Spell server

[Dwayne Bailey]

Ah glad there are some other interested in this:

The code is on my laptop.  I made some changes that broke a few things
which I'm trying to make right again.

Thanks for the notes on Zemberek - I saw it in the Enchant code whoch
got me thinking again.  And also for the Voikko info as we need tools to
manage the process of vetting new words and it seems you have done some
nice work there.

So off to fiz those bugs and get an initial release out.
