finally!  \o/

For now we don’t have any users of gspell at all, let alone users of its
Vala bindings, so perhaps we can leave it as is?

Originally, I wanted gspell because I understood that it's a dependency of Polari, the Gnome chat client.

Once this aspell path thing is solved, should any bindings be necessary for Polari, they could be added later, couldn't they ?

Thank you so much or this, Ludo ! 🤗
