Spell checking in GIO

[Sébastien Wilmet <swilmet gnome org>]

Hi,

I want to bring back the idea of adding spell checking in GTK+/GIO.

The last mail on the subject:
https://mail.gnome.org/archives/gtk-devel-list/2012-January/msg00050.html

The bug report:
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=383706

The first step is to wrap enchant in GIO. For this, the code in the 
spell gedit plugin, or in gtkhtml is a good start. I currently have the 
time to work on this.

Some questions:

Are you still open to add such a functionality in GIO/GTK+?

How to handle the dependency to enchant in GIO? Is a hard dependency a 
problem?

Sébastien
