Tempting but no, I already maintain packages for several platforms. See https://github.com/nuspell/misc-nuspell/tree/master/packaging The files there will help packaging for cygwin. Packaging Nuspell is similar to Hunspell, but more easy as Nuspell uses CMake. Recently, Enchant is supporting Nuspell and now I am working on the integration with Firefox. With the support of Mozilla, we try to be a drop-in replacement for Hunspell and to have better performance and maintanability. > > > currently we have already aspell and hunspell > as general purpose spell checkers The functionality of Aspell is very inferior to that of Hunspell and Nuspell. Hunspell is very hard to maintain and extend and sometimes has security issues as it has been written in an older form of C++.
