The only reason the multi-byte encodings are "experimental" is because it
is untested. AbiWord will test it and thus find any bugs ;)

Great. You are correct in assuming that it will be 0.12.

BTW: One minor announce is there a reason the Pspell code is in a file
called pSpell and not pspell. Pspell is NOT capitalized as PSpell just
