Screenshot of "misspelled" Khmer words that should be treated as two words

Problem description: While ICU automatic line-breaking now works for Khmer in
LibreOffice 3.6, Hunspell does not seem to be using the same word-breaking data
and only sees one long line of text (Khmer does not have traditional "spaces"
between words, like Thai). 

Steps to reproduce:
1. Type ឲ្យគេ (should be automatically broken by ICU into ឲ្យ|គេ)
2. If you have the SBBIC spelling checker installed
http://extensions.libreoffice.org/extension-center/khmer-spelling-checker-sbbic-version
and CTL enabled, you will see that ឲ្យគេ is treated as one word, rather than
two, and is therefore misspelled.
3. You might need a font to correctly display Khmer (download one here:
http://www.sbbic.org/2011/01/19/khmer-sbbic-unicode-system-font/ )

Current behavior: No Khmer words are automatically broken for Hunspell, so we
have to continue manually putting zero-width spaces between words to spell
check (even though line-breaking is now automatic)

Expected behavior: Khmer words should be automatically broken for Hunspell to
check.
