description
This script enables spell checking capabilities known from text
processors:

*SpellCheck: highlights all misspelled words
*Propose: checks word under cursor - giving proposals for correcting
*AddToDictionary: adds word under cursor to dictionary
*SpchkNxt: jumps to next error
*SpchkPrv: jumps to previous error
*SetLanguageTag: which language to use (uk_UK | de_DE ...)
*SpellAutoEnable: enables automatic higlighting of misspelled words
  (this is done via CursorHold)
*SpellAutoDisable: disables automatic check

problems:
-syntax highlighting does not work correctly in every syntax-mode
solution: set syntax=off and then do the spellcheck
-to add a word to the list of known words, the skript has to know
which private dictionary aspell is using (something like
$HOME/.aspell.xxx.pws where xxx depends on the language tag)
the current relation is:
   uk_UK|us_US -> english (.aspell.english.pws)
   de_DE -> de (.aspell.de.pws)
to add entries or change existing ones, there is a little adjustment table.
 
install details
*you need aspell (plus dictionary ofcourse)
*you need a ruby interpreter enabled
*$LANG should be defined (echo $LANG on CLI prompt)

Simply move the skript to your plugin directory.
