I don't do this often, but in this case I'm going
to say we deviate a bit and document spell checking,
along with a note saying that spell checking may not
be enabled in the version the user is running, and
maybe a note about what to do about it.

Alex, the selection is compile-time, right?  So we
couldn't just tell users to install gtkspell and
have Tomboy pick it up?

We can discuss details here, but definitely include
spell checking in the documentation.
