patch for getting gtkspell3 support into gtranslator Edit (1000 bytes, text/plain)

Ok, I made some changes in gtranslator configure.ac file and now I have gtranslator with gtkspell support.

The main problem gtranslator had is that:

- For one hand gtranslator was searching for gtkspell version 100 (I think that doesn't exists) but, anyway, this version is dependent on gtk2.
- Due gtranslator is compiled with gtk3 if you use gtkspell gtk2-based version raises an seg fault, gtk2 and gtk3 can not be used at the same time in the same program.

So I attach one patch that solves this an gets check spelling support into gtranslator
