[PATCH] KSpell: support for Hebrew spellchecking

Greetings,

The attached patch should make it possible to spellcheck Hebrew through 
KSpell. Due to the Hebrew language's special nature, it can't use ispell or 
aspell, and uses its own engine, hspell 
(http://www.ivrix.org.il/projects/spell-checker/), which has recently reached 
a usable state. Luckily, hspell can emulate ispell's output, so it can be 
suported in KSpell without too much of a fuss.

If nobody objects, I'll commit this to HEAD. But I was also wondering whether 
it will be OK to commit it KDE_3_1_BRANCH too. After all, I wouldn't go as 
far as calling this a feature. This is just a small fix to allow Hebrew 
spellchecking, and doesn't break the message freeze ("HSpell" needn't be 
translated and "Hebrew" is already in kdelibs.po from 
kdecore/kcharsets.cpp:51).


Regards.
