I just KNEW someone would say that. The thing is programs that USE the
library use a different part than those who IMPLEMENT part of the library.
The library interface for those programs is more subject to change thus I
may break binary compatibly for PSPELL own modules but I don't wish to
break compatibility for programs with just USE the library. Thus I want
two diffrent interfaces for the same library. Normal programs will link
to one and pspell modules and possibly other spell checkers will link to
the other.
