[webkit-dev] Hunspell based spellchecker

[KwangYul Seo]

Hi,

Multiple ports can share the implementation if we put spell checker in
WebCore. Ports without native spell checker can use Hunspell based spell
checker without much efforts. Brew MP port is also interested because it
does not have a native spell checker.

Regards,
Kwang Yul Seo
