May I recommend that since you have a construction function
(rather than just instantiating the class) that you also
have a destruction function:
destroy_pspell_config(PspellConfig *spell_config);
This means that people won't have to worry about what is
going on underneath (ie malloc vs new, delete vs free) and
it makes the API more symetric.
