OK, I'll bite.  I don't know anything about Pspell -- good, bad, or
indifferent.  Given that we have an embedded ispell that works (at
least on Unix ... does it work elsewhere?), what goodies would we get
with Pspell?

Here are the "bad" things I know about ispell (and some aren't that
bad):

1.  Maybe limited platforms (I don't actually know in the Abi case if
there's such a limit).

2.  Conflicts with dictionary formats because of other "native"
versions of ispell installed on a particular user's machine.

3.  Can't spell-check a word longer than 100 characters.

4.  Probably some limitations on spell-checking arbitrary Unicode, but 
Latin-1 (maybe Latin-*) is OK.
