Re: OpenMedSpel implementation

Hi Lakshit,

OpenMedSpel has a Hunspell interface, and Enchant already supports
Hunspell. I'd suggest thinking about how to integrate Enchant with
OpenMedSpel via Hunspell, and how to enable AbiWord to spell check
against 2 dictionaries simultaneously (eg. English and Medical).

Cheers,
Dom
