Spell Checking

["Shug Boabby" <Shug.Boabby@gmail.com>]

hi there,

i realise the flyspell and spell checking .el files heavily depend upon
spell/ispell/aspell being installed on the system, but many modern GUI
libs (such as GTK+2 with GtkSpell and OS X's Aqua/Cocoa) have the
ability to add spell checking to any text-input window. can anyone see
this kind of spellchecking becoming available in GNU Emacs in the
future?

in GTK+2 it is really just a 2-liner in the source to add the support.
but of course that won't do context stuff (like not checking maths
equations in LaTeX mode) but i'm sure it could be worked around.

at the moment i have to maintain 2 dictionaries on OS X as Emacs is not
making use of the system one, its quite irritating... also, these
methods are *much* faster than flyspell.
