I managed to get this up and running and working with Roundcube rather
easily. I did have to make a couple slight changes in the code to make it
configurable (and default to using Google).
Apply the attached patch to program/steps/mail/spell.inc and then add these
config variables in config/main.inc.php:
$rcmail_config['googiespell_server'] = "127.0.0.1";
$rcmail_config['googiespell_port'] = "14003";
$rcmail_config['googiespell_path'] = "/?lang=";
Start your nox server, and away it goes...
Note: I had to edit nox's run_server.py and tell it not to use Google there,
too.
