AbiWord 3.0

I just compiled AbiWord 3.0 from source on a Debian 7.01 system.

This was my ./configure command:

  ./configure --enable-plugins --enable-builtin-plugins --enable-clipart
--with-gio --with-champlain --with-libtidy --enable-templates

This is the result of that command:

Configuration:
   host i686-pc-linux-gnu
   dynamic binary yes
   static binary no
   platform unix (embedded: no)
   toolkit gtk
   debug no

Optional features:
   menubutton no
   printing yes
   spell checking yes
   status bar yes
   emacs keybinding yes
   vi keybinding yes
   clipart yes
   templates yes

Optional dependencies:
   gio yes
   gsf-gio yes
   goffice no
   redland yes
   evolution_data_server no
   libical yes
   champlain yes

The 'make' and 'make install' commands executes with no problems.

When I tried to run abiword, it wouldn't execute. issuing the 'abiword'
command from a terminal generated a "libabiword-3.0... not found."

Debian stable has a libabiword 2.9.something-dev. I installed that, and
now AbiWord runs.

The problem: Where's the spell checker? According to the Configuration
list, spell checking is enabled. There are no spell check buttons on the
toolbar, nor is there any mention of Check Spelling in the tools menu.

Even with this minor inconvenience, though, it's nice to finally see
3.0. Thank you for all your hard work.
