    Smashing! However, it should probably avoid correcting spellings
    in anything but C comments.
    Perhaps my C comment parser should be converted to perl and
    incorporated into spell-fix.pl, and used to divide the source
    file into two streams (comment and noncomment); the comment
    stream would be spell-fixed and merged back with the noncomment
    stream to create the output.

    And thanks to Shaheed for converting my list of misspellings to a correction list!

    I suggest we remove the entries
    broken=borken
    brain-damaged=dain-bramaged,dain bramaged
    as we're not trying to remove humor from the comments.

    Also, the words 'controllen' and 'callin', are not typos, so
    calling=callin
    should be removed, and
    controller=controler,controllen
    should be just
    controller=controler

    The above examples make me think the list of corrections will have
    to be very carefully vetted before we turn this thing loose.
