Spell Checking in KDE4 (KSpell2)

[heiko.evermann at gmx.de]

Hi Zack,

I have had a closer look at enchant. I installed it on my computer and ran the 
test programs for it.

I think I like the approach that KDE would only have to deal with one spell 
checker that does the dispatching for us. It would keep KSpell a lot simpler.

What is the problem with Glib? Isn't GLib some kind of standard library?

Kind regards,
