I can understand you reluctance, but I have been using aspell/pspell
as an ispell replacement for almost a year now.  My experience is that
it builds OOTB, works *much* better than ispell, easily drops in as an
ispell replacement, and has caused me no grief at all.

I hope that you reconsider.  Just in case, see attached for my build
recipe.

Thanks,
Jason
