Salutations!

I just spent an afternoon getting aspell to work.  It looks like in order to compile, 
you need

1) config files (can be empty):
/etc/aspell.conf
$HOME/.aspell.conf

To get it to actually WORK, you need

2) your personal word list:

$HOME/.aspell.english.pws

which must be a valid file.  A blank list looks like a single line containing

personal_ws-1.1 english 0

3) you personal replacement list

$HOME/.aspell.english.prepl

which again, must be valid.  A blank list looks like

personal_repl-1.1 english 0 

Lack 2 or 3 will cause aspell to abort before doing anything.

This is moderately ridiculous.  Perhaps we can patch the program to more gracefully 
handle the lack of files?
