Well, I have a rough working copy of the Options dialog.

Attachments
    options.diff        a cvs diff -c >options.diff from the abi/src directory
    options.tar         all the new files to be added from the abi/src directory

What this patch currently can do:
    * Pull up the options dialog
    * Allow you to change the Auto Check as you Type options
        - all the other check boxes do not do anything yet
    * Save the auto spell check in the PrefSchemes.  If there is a current
        scheme besides _builtin_, then it will add it, otherwise, it'll create 
        a new one (user_prefs)

What it does NOT do, yet:
    * Actually change the auto check functionallity, but it will save it to
        the preferences file for the next time that Abiword is loaded    
    * I don't have access to a Win32/BeOS machine so I can't test (compile)
        the win32 code.  I don't know if it will work, but it *should* 

Notes:
    Currently, I force a save of the preferences.  (if not autosave, then save
now) Should not be in there in the long run, but should add the
options|Preferences tab soon (probably next)

Todo:
    * Add a call back feature to the preferences so the appropriate sections
        of code can be notified when a preference has changed
    * Add a new tab page - 
        Spelling
            SpellCheckDirectory
            SpellCheckWordList
            undo Ignore/Un-Ignore
            re-Check now
        View
            Ruler
                Units
            Toolbars ?
        Preferences
            Auto Save
            Save Now
        Toolbar         (or should this be like the toolbars|customize...  dlg?
            Apperance
            LabelSet ?
            Layouts ?
