IceCat + zpspell

I got a message from Samed Beyribey, sharing the changes he made to get GNU IceCat working with zpspell for Turkish spell-checking, on Arch GNU/Linux. We are sharing this in hope it can be useful to someone.

Why zpspell? Because "aspell doesn't support Turkish language". For using zpspell, you need to install zemberek-server and zpspell. They're both available in AUR.

The patch used here is made by Pardus developers and they release their patch under the GPL, so this is Free Software :)
