kre mentioned giving up on ispell, but I found it "hard" to use anything
but ispell with emacs, so as I've upgraded systems and ended up tripping
over this breakage, I've eventually persevered to make it work again.

I don't remember why aspell didn't work for me (I have hacks in my
.emacs.el to try to use it), but I do remember it was much easier to fix
ispell than to make aspell work.

I guess so?  That's more or less how I've changed the package to make it
work -- I.e. just use the supplied makefile.
