Hi,
It appears that Enchant is currently a hard dependency of Epiphany
(unless building with an older Gecko, or so I'm guessing from reading
configure.ac); it can be disabled but must be done so manually rather
than having configure check and only use it if available. It appears
that this change was made a while ago, but I only discovered it
recently (was out of the loop for a while working on my dissertation).
Anyway, Enchant is not listed at
http://live.gnome.org/TwoPointSeventeen/ExternalDependencies and is
thus not yet a valid hard dependency. I'm guessing the community
wouldn't have any objections to depending on it, so we could either
propose it on d-d-l to get it added to the list, or the dependency
could be made optional. There may be other possibilities I'm not
thinking of. Comments?
Thanks for all your awesome work,
Elijah
