[libvoikko] Lttoolbox - libvoikko backend integration issues?

[David Cheah]

Hi again,

Have been working to build Voikko in MinGW as per the Windows instructions
on the Voikko page, sadly the Malaga installation isn't giving me any files
at all - currently looking into it. Think i should be able to find out whats
going wrong over the weekend.

Also, I've been looking at the spelling suggestions in
src/spellchecker/suggestions, and have a few questions.

Am I right in saying that the task at hand is basically to write additional
methods and new SuggestionGenerator(etc) files into the
src/spellchecker/suggestions folder, which would leave the methods involving
SuggestionStrategy and SuggestionStatus mostly unmodified?

Also, what additional features/new implementations would be good to have in
the suggestions algorithm? Or perhaps what is the current reason why there
is a need for a better suggestions algorithm?

Cheers
