I have no idea why you could compile the plugin without enchant-dev, it
is required since 2008-06-19.

Let me quote from SpellCheck's README:

"Furthermore, you need to have installed enchant with its development
files (libenchant-dev or enchant-devel)."

For testing, I changed the required enchant version to 1.9 in
build/spellcheck.m4 to simulate that the library is missing and after
re-running ./autogen.sh, configure said that the spell check plugin is
not to be build.
That seems correct to me. If not, I'm afraid Chow need to give it a
look. The autotools magic in the g-p project is just scary to me :).

Enrico
