As far as I can tell, pspell with Abi is now horribly broken. I don't know
if it's pspell or Abi. On the other hand the great work by Thomas
and Dom now mean that ispell works quite well, once the the ispell hashes
are compiled correctly. I belive Dom now has a collection of over half a
dozen languages.
Unfortunately I don't think we can trust Linux distributions to get the
Pspell/Aspell combination correct. I haven't been able to get it work for
about a month.
I think we should focus on ispell again. It is totally under our control
and we now have in-house expertise to maintain it.
My 2cents worth. (Sorry Kevin but pspell/aspell is unreliable and not
portable.)
