[Building Sakai] FCKeditor / Firefox spell checking

[John Bush]

we use aspell, I found a jsp version of the server side script which I  
modified so I could set the aspell.path via sakai.properties

http://www.fckeditor.net/forums/viewtopic.php?f=5&t=7219

I think I attached the jsp in this ticket, http://bugs.sakaiproject.org/jira/browse/SAK-4069 
, you can find more info there. For us having to install aspell is a  
real pain, I just like to keep the install as simple as possible, I  
really don't like the idea of calling out to shell scripts, something  
about it just doesn't sit well with my constitution.   The next step  
is replace the dependency on aspell.  I found a google web service out  
there, hopefully at somepoint I'll get some time to convert this to  
use that.
