It works in OOo2, too.

Should be OK. The language of your text is set to English (USA)?
If you want another language, set the languauge of the document to it
and install the appropriate dictionary.

They use a different engine for spellchecking. (but AbiWord uses enchant
which *may* use myspell.

Of course. Read the manpage. You have to specify the default.

Right. hunspell isn't needed for spellchecking inside of OOo though,
openoffice.org-hunspell links with the hunspell library so it uses
hunspell internally and doesn't need the hunspell binary.
The "hunspell" binary package is just packaged for people who want to
use it stand-alone (like ispell or aspell)

None as far as I see.
