To clarify this a little bit: the decision which spell checker engines LyX can
use
is made by the packager - it depends on the build environment, that's the
platform
and the installed or self compiled additional libraries.
So, it depends on the platform and the distributor what spell checker backends
are
available to the user. The current consensus is indeed that LyX supports at
least
hunspell. On Mac OS X we have additional support for aspell and apples
"built-in"
spell checker. On Linux enchant should be possible too.

Ok, thanks. This was the plan indeed - to use the dictionaries from LyX's SVN
to integrate it in the installers.
