Being fair to John, he couldn't make sense of the original Controller stuff 
when he wrote ControlSpellchecker. Being fair to me, I couldn't make sense of 
ControlSpellchecker when I came to look at what he'd done ;-)

The code and logic in ControlSpellchecker are completely backward. Start again!

That's what it purports to do. It's a glue API that is meant to make it 
trivial for apps like LyX to use "the right spellchecker" on different 
platforms and for different languages.

As Jean-Marc suggests later in this thread, the correct thing to do for the 
hypothetical webster dictionary case is to enhance Enchant.

Let's take the opportunity to make LyX simpler guys!
