Hi Guix,

This series adds Voikko, a morphological analyzer, spelling and grammar checker,
hyphenator and collection of related linguistic data. It is probably the most
widely used libre spell checker for Finnish language.

'foma' dependency uses the latest git snapshot instead of a stable release to
remove the need for patches. Since the latest release, the project has switched
to cmake based build[1], fixing a number of issues with the old Makefile based
build. Other distributions, like Debian and Fedora, also use snapshots for this
reason.

Kind regards,
Jussi

Great! Seems to work well based on quick testing. Hopefully someone with
commit access finds the time to review and apply this soon.
