No, not really. If you want spell checking, you need an implementation of 
it - i.e, ispell/aspell. If you want holidays, you just need a list of 
holidays. One person with gcal using it to generate Kronolith files which 
everyone else can use is sufficient - no need for everyone - think about 
people using Windows, for one - to have this program.

Because, fundamentally, it's a list of dates. You expect users to 
understand they need a whole new program, which might not work on their 
platform, to get a list of dates and names? They'll go elsewhere instantly.
