Thanks for the link, but this still does not tell us how we can integrate this
with our software (if this is possible and allowed at all).

In the meantime, it might be a good idea to check whether there is
a recent hunspell.exe binary for Windows that we could use and ship
with our Windows package.  In principle, TeXmacs should already
support hunspell when it can find it.

I am not sure though whether we should priviledge aspell or hunspell
when both are available.  Any suggestions?

Best wishes, --Joris
