Description Hajime Morrita 2011-01-26 17:29:47 PST

This is a tracking bug.

The current plan is to:

 * Extract TextCheckerClient interface from EditorClient,
   * whose instance should be available from EditorClient::textChekerClient().
   * Replace caller site with it
 * Port Chromium's Hunspell implementation to WebCore/platform/TextCheckerClientHunspell.
 * Replace Chromium port with it.
   * Chromium port also uses system spellchecker. So it should have a subclass of TextCheckerClientHunspell.
 * (Hopefully) Change Mac WebKit implementation to use TextCheckerClient
 * (Hopefully) Remove old spellchecker interface from EditorClient
