Seems like a good idea.

I've put this on a new wiki page, along with notes for Ubuntu as well.  
However, if things get busy, I'll hand it all to you to keep  
updating! :-)

I'm surprised to see freetype1-* there. And various of the -tools,  
too: are they actually needed to build TW?

Hmmm. I guess that means Debian puts hunspell.h directly into /usr/ 
include rather than into a /usr/include/hunspell subdir, does it? OK,  
I've adjusted the #include paths so I think you have a better chance  
(see rev 128).

Once you've confirmed whether it works OK, we can add a Debian entry  
to the Building page as well.

BTW, for Ubuntu there may already be a package available; Martin  
Sievers created one, as announced on the list recently:

   http://tug.org/pipermail/texworks/2008q3/000002.html

I don't know how easily this work could be recycled for Debian, but  
AFAIK many packages are built to work on both.

Thanks,
