Java Wrapper for Hspell

This package contains a Java wrapper for hspell library. Hspell was written by Nadav Har'El and Dan Kenigsberg.

A new dynamic library libhspellj.so duplicates the existing static library libhspell.a and adds Java-specific entry points and the HSpellWrapper.jar Java library. The wrapper uses the Java Native Interface (JNI) technology.

The package mostly duplicates the contents of the official release, with a few additions and modifications. I tried to modify the existing files as little as possible.

configure.in and Makefile.in were modified to create a dynamic library alongside the static one and to accomodate a new target java.
aux/ directory contains some scripts which "configure" now needs. It look like carrying them around is a drawback of autoconf, and I could find no way to avoid it.
LibHSpellJ.h, LibHSpellJ.c and LibHSpellJ.java contain the new code.
HSpellWrapper.java contains a cleaned up wrapper class, but it is not strictly necessary and may rather serve as an example of calling the low-level LibHSpellJ class.

Please note that if you want to run autoconf, you will need to install autoconf-archive and libtool and run

aclocal -I /usr/share/autoconf-archive/ -I /usr/share/libtool/

before it.

Unfortunately, I'm not quite good at autotooling, so my Makefile.in additions are rather messy.
