UTF-8 and ispell

[Rafael Laboissiere]

[Cc: to the pkg-jed-devel and dict-common-dev mailing lists]

Hi Paul,

Thanks for the patch, it took faster than I thought to adapt
dictionaries-common for the new ispell.sl with improved aspell and UTF-8
support.  I am attaching below the patch that I in fact applied to jed-extra
2.4. Notice that I have made aspell the default program, instead of ispell.

I have changed the dictionaries-common package to generate the necessary
calls to aspell_add_dictionary in jed-ispell-dicts.sl file.  I am attaching
below this file as it is generated in my system.  Note that the appropriate
strings are wrapped around "if (_slang_utf8_ok) {...} else {...}".  I did
not implemented the \x{...} encoding as you suggested.  This would
complicate DictonariesCommon without necessity.

The changed dictionaries-common package is available in my private
apt-getable repository [1], just in case someone wants to try it.

Now, we have to make a plan to release this to Debian.  The first step would
be to integrate the new ispell.sl in jed-extra, either by making a new
upstream release of jedmodes or simply by integrating the patch. The second
step will be to release the new dictionaries-common package [Agustín: please
review my patch to the dictionaries-common package attached below; it
applies against the CVS sources as two days ago].  It has to be done in this
order, otherwise jed will fail when loading jed-ispell-dicts.sl.
