The xulrunner package depends on hunspell. I prefer to use aspell, however, not least of all because it seems to be much better supported. Would it be possible to change the PKGBUILD so that the to-be-used spellchecker can be configured? I realize that I can edit the PKGBUILD and just compile everything myself, but it would be nice if I wouldn't have to.
This task depends upon

Mozilla uses hunspell as spelling backend since the gecko 1.9 engine, I don't think we can change that. If there would be any possibility to change the engine, I would go for enchant, nothing else.

My understanding is that enchant supports aspell as a back-end, so I'd be perfectly happy with that solution. Whether it's possible to configure that or not, I'm not qualified to say.
