Hello,

I have just began a French dictionary for aspell. It is based on the
ispell dictionary, and can be find at the address :
http://dept-info.labri.u-bordeaux.fr/~vanicat/aspell/
(it's francais-0.01.tar.gz that is useful)

I have general question about aspell:
in French there is accent over certain letter (���� and others) and
those accent are difficult to type, so a lot of French don't type
them (and use the normal letter instead). So a do want of aspell it
find the for me, even if there is many of them in a word.
and there is the problem:
if i have "�t�" and "eue" in a dictionary, with pronunciation rule
giving 
�t� -> ETE 
eue -> EE 
he will propose me "et" but not "�t�", even if for French people, it's
the opposite that is natural. Is there any way to make aspell give me
the correct answer? As a French i would naturally :
- strip the accent
- find words that match
- put back the accent
or do not count accent modification in the distance between word (or
count them less than other transformation).

Remark:
 For the French case, i don't know if this case is common. Their is
 many word with many accent, but not many of them having a near match
 like that

Remark 2:
 why evalue give as correction �valu� and �value since it seem to be
 in the same case?
