    Hi Jordi,

    Well, this would be low-priority for win32. This is
    something I'd like AbiWord to use after our 2.0
    release - it's too new, controversial, and invasive to
    force all of our platforms to use this right now.

    Anyway, I'm going to write an Ispell backend based on
    our current code. That should work on Win32. If you're
    interested, you could make the Pspell backend work on
    Win32. You can take a look at
    src/other/spell/xp/pspell_checker.h to see what Andrew
    Dunbar needed to do in order for that to work. I'm not
    quite sure that is the correct approach, but it does
    work.

    Other than that, it should "just work" on Win32,
    provided that you have GLib-2.0 installed. A MSVC
    project file would be nice to have.

    Cheers,
    Dom
