Hunspell [PSARC/2009/026 FastTrack timeout 01/23/2009]

[Suresh Chandrasekharan]

Project team is not aware of thunderbird/firefox/openoffice binaries 
having a private copy of hunspell library. (They may be having hunspell 
sources directly compiled in their executables). Even if they do 
maintain private copies of the library, it's up to each of these teams 
to decide if they would like to link to the hunspell library that this 
case provides and forgo their private dependencies.

This project is more oriented towards to cater to new/existing 
applications which needs a sophisticated spell checker library, and 
tools for dictionary developers for hunspell.
