Changes:
2008-04-12 Németh László <nemeth at OOo>:
        * src/tools/hunspell.cxx: 
        - Multilingual spell checking and special dictionary support with -d.
          Multilingual spell checking suggested by Khaled Hosny (SF.net
          Bug 1834280). Example for the new syntax:
          
          -d en_US,en_geo,en_med,de_DE,de_med
          
          en_US and de_DE are base dictionaries, and en_geo, en_med, de_med
          are special dictionaries (dictionaries without affix file).
          Special dictionaries are optional extension of the base dictionaries.
          There is no explicit naming convention for special dictionaries,
          only the ".dic" extension: dictionaries without affix file will
          be an extension of the preceding base dictionary. First dictionary
          in -d parameter must have an affix file (it must be a base
          dictionary).

        - new options for debugging, morphological analysis and stemming:
          -m: morphological analysis or flag debug mode (without affix
          rule data it signs the flag of the affix rules)
          -s: stemming mode
          -D: show also available dictionaries and search path
              (suggested by Aaron Digulla in SF.net Bug 1902133)

        - add missing refresh() to print bad words before the slower suggestion
          search in UI (better user experience)
          
        - fix tabulator problems (reported by ugli-kid-joe AT sf DOT net)

        - fix different encoding of dic and input, and suggestions

        - add per mille sign to LANG hu_HU section.

        - rewrite program messages. Concatenating multiple printfs for
          easier translation suggested by András Tímár and Gábor Kelemen.
