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. - Dan
