Re: New version of ispell packages breaks with aspell :/

[NOTE: This has gone to the ASpell author as well as the XEmacs beta list] Hi. The new ispell package released recently causes aspell[1] to die. This is because aspell does not grok the `-vv' switch passed from `check-ispell-version'. This option under ispell will spit out both the version header and a whole bunch of information about the setup of ispell. The trivial fix for me, locally, was to make this a single `-v' -- I only use aspell and it does not spit out the `LIBDIR' information anyway. That is clearly not the right thing(tm) for most people though. I suspect that adding support for this option to aspell is correct, but maybe XEmacs could try and be more tolerant of these errors?
