luakit plugin warnings

Hello everybody!

I get 4 warnings when starting 'luakit'

Warn	glib	(unknown): Error loading plugin: libnuspell.so.5: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
Warn	glib	(unknown): Error loading plugin: libvoikko.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
Warn	glib	(unknown): Error loading plugin: libhspell.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
Warn	glib	(unknown): Error loading plugin: libaspell.so.15: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

After installing those (libvoikko hspell nuspell aspell) packages the warnings are gone.
But then I checked whether they are required by 'luakit' and none of them is.

 ~ # Qi libvoikko hspell nuspell aspell | grep -i required
Required By     : None
Required By     : None
Required By     : None
Required By     : None

And they are not optional for 'luakit' either.

 ~ # Qi luakit | grep -i depends
Depends On      : lua51-filesystem  luajit  webkit2gtk
 ~ # Qi luakit | grep -i optional
Optional Deps   : None
Optional For    : None

One more try

 ~ # Qi libvoikko hspell nuspell aspell | grep -i optional
Optional Deps   : None
Optional For    : enchant
Optional Deps   : None
Optional For    : enchant
Optional Deps   : None
Optional For    : enchant
Optional Deps   : perl: to import old dictionaries [installed]
Optional For    : enchant  mc

Why those warnings then?

Re: luakit plugin warnings

These are spell checking libraries, many things have support for multiple of those and just try to load all of them. Whether you explicitly need any depends on what kind of spell checking languages you expect to have. The warning is also coming from glib so something there tries to load these for spell checking purposes.
