Also, G could be confused for GNU; it has been used by them
as well, e.g., "groff". Best to avoid.

1. If you must have "international", try "i-ispell".

2. Otherwise: "wspell" or "wispell" (w for "world")

3. You could also take the "TeX" route and call your program "IspeLL"
   or even "IspL". May seem funny for a moment but it would do the job
   and distinguish it.
