My particular searches are medical terms, a spell check with custom
dictionaries would really help out. My thought is to implement it such
that a spell check only occurs if no matches are found, and then use a
template variable to return alternate spellings.
Given that aspell's library interface is not documented and my C++ is very
limited, I am going to keep it very simple for now. One wheel, coming
