Now there is a new version of the spell checker. It uses iconv charactre translation. I have changed Win32 to use the libiconv library, but other platforms (BEOS?, QNX?) will fail or still use the tiny (useless) iconv in wv/iconv.

The libiconv is big, but thats possible to tweek when we kno what tables we need.

The new spell check handles at least these dictionaries:

american.hash, catala.hash, deutsch.hash, eo.hash,
francais.hash, german.hash, italian.hash, russian.hash,
svenska.hash

If you find a dictionary that fails, please tell me and where to get it and I will look at it.

The way it works now is that I look inside the dictionary for "utf8" or "latin1-9". The russian have nothing, so thats a special case, matching the "russian.hash" name. If all fails I load "latin1" since that will give the best fallback.
