gtkspell (was Re: Announcing: Project Ridley)

[Mike Hearn <mike plan99 net>]

Yes, it's yet another "me too" post, this time for gtkspell.

Spelling checker support is widely used in many apps, and from my POV is a
huge pain because gtkspell is a very common failed dependency for
autopackages. We provide tools to make weak linking against this library
simple but a few projects for whatever mysterious reasons they have refuse
to use them.

Being able to guarantee the presence of GtkSpell by depending on GTK+
would be wonderful.

Last time I asked about this, Owen indicated he didn't think it belonged
in GTK+ but maybe this Project Ridely means a change in policy?
