Is it? I closed yesterday a bug report about kmoon that it would use too much
memory. I think the memory usage grows with every QObject used in a library
(as far as I know they register some static code), so moving kspell would
increase the memory footprint of applications that do not need kspell 
features. So I don't see this as all win situation, even though I'd go for it 
too.

Greetings, Stephan
