Implement Chrome Extension to highlight unknown words (Inuktitut Spell Checker Iteration 1)

[GoogleCodeExporter]

Purpose of implementation request:
To practice designing software architecture, and to implement Iteration 1 in a 
general purpose fieldlinguist's tool for morphemes in context (also can be used 
as a crowd-sourcing lexicographer's tool for spellchecker quality assurance)

When implementing the request, please focus on these
steps/functions/components:
 1. A barebones Chrome Extension (1 hour)
 2. A simple javascript function to highlight words (2 hours)
 3. A simple javascript function to read words from a file (2 hours)
 4. A simple javascript function to loop through all text, and call highlight function if the word is not known (2 hours)

When implementing the request, watch out for the following potential
security/lack of access/lack of data/formatting etc hiccups:
 * none



Expected next steps see Iteration 2 - Making the script adaptive:

Expected next steps see Iteration 3 - Adding rules to "recognize" more words

After starting the implementation, please create a GitHub repository named:
 *https://github.com/cmesher/InuktitutSpellchecker
