Is that code committed? I don't see it in SVN (at least on the trunk).

OK, eventually I am going to move the abiword-dev to a folder. Can we
agree to at least have the word Enchant in the subject if it relates to
Enchant to I can have those messages go to my inbox.

As I see it, two things
1) Write the code
2) Convince the projects to use Enchant rather than Hunspell directly.
The code part should not be that difficult. If it has to be a plugin than
it will likely be more work. I think that harder part is (2). Both
Firefox and Google chrome use they own internal Hunspell version, and they
will likely see Enchant as getting in the way.
