  Yes, I added it to the web tree.  It is ispell based.  I would like
to add it to the doc/ tree, but first I need to write a simple
stylesheet to ignore the contents of tags that we do not want to spell
check (<command>, etc..) to minimize the number of false positives.

  The main advantage that the "spellcheck" target gives you is a
localized dictionary full of FreeBSD-specific lexicon
(www/en/share/dict/words) and the ability to pre-format the source to
remove elements that you would not like to spell check.

  I think it is silly that so much of our every day vocabulary is not
recognized by ispell.  I would like to maintain a local dictionary of
technical terms somewhere in src/ so that it can be used to
automatically check src, doc, and www for spelling-errors.
