 *
 * Arguments:
 *  - "path" should be the full path to the spell checking program, or NULL
 *    if you want to search the PATH for args[0].
 *  - "args" should be a array of arguments to the spell checking program.
 *    The first element should be the name of the program.
 *    You should give the argument to run the spell checking program in the
 *    "embedded" mode.  for ispell, this is "-a".
 *    The last element should be NULL.
 * Return:
 *  0 on success, and -1 on error.
 *
 * Example:
 *  char *args[] = { "ispell", "-a", NULL };
 *  if (gtkspell_start(NULL, args) < 0) {
 *  	fprintf(stderr, "Unable to start GtkSpell.\n");
 *  	return -1;
