My plan was to submit that patch at the time each exported
function was marked with the ASPELL_API macro. I could submit
that in the next day or two, but until the c interface is
complete, the marking of exported functions will be incomplete.

That is interesting. I consider the utility a good test for
wether the api is complete.

 Release early, release often?

What about the generated files? I can visualize aspell.h being
generated based on the ASPELL_API macro, but I still don't
understand how something like check_info.hpp is generated.
I just searched all the files distributed with the last alpha,
and CheckInfo only shows up in check_info.hpp. Are all the
"Automatically generated file." comments up to date?
