           Summary: thunderbird should use hunspell, not myspell

Thunderbird should be using the system hunspell, not the provided myspell
because  a good spell checker (like hunspell is compared to myspell) is
important for Thunderbird and the myspell-packages that Thunderbird uses (like
the de-* and others) are no longer myspell but hunspell dictionaries that do
not work correctly with myspell any more.

With a few tricks Thunderbird can be build with hunspell support:

- Build-depend on hunspell-devel
- Add MOZ_MYSPELL_CFLAGS.
- extensions/spellcheck/myspell/src/Makefile.in: Use MOZ_MYSPELL_CFLAGS.
- extensions/spellcheck/myspell/src/mozMySpell.h: Include hunspell.cxx instead
of myspell.cxx.
- configure.in, configure: Overwrite myspell detection with hunspell.

this is from the ubuntu gusty thunderbird diff. See
