there would probably be very little work getting gtkspell.c mapped into perl,
the way we are currently mapping gtk2, provided that it is implemented as a
widget. if not then it may still be possible, just different.

unless there's something you don't like about gtkspell.c i wouldn't see much
reason to rewrite it in perl (as a module,) i would think that you'd be better
of getting the c version usable from perl (with perlxs etc.)

i've never seen such a thing and i'm not finding anything about it with google
so i'm guess it's new.

it would all be do-able if you should decide to do it in perl as a pm.
