Aspell on Windows

You need cmake and cygwin.

- check out the latest CVS version: 
  http://savannah.gnu.org/cvs/?group=aspell

- copy the files from the LyX SVN to the other 
  files in the win32 folder of aspell

- with cygwin patch aspell, call in aspell/:
    patch -p0 -i win32/win32-aspell.patch

- generate missing source files with cygwin:
    ./autogen
  
- make a separate build directory and run 
  on a standard Windows command promp
    cmake <Aspell source directory>\win32
  build and install debug AND release libraries 

- build mingw makefiles files in 
  - cmd.exe shell:
    cmake -G"MinGW Makefiles" <Aspell source directory>\win32 
  - in a MSYS shell
    cmake -G"MSYS Makefiles"  <Aspell source directory>\win32 
  
  
The patched Aspell reads the location of the dictonary from 
the registry. You can either install the dictionaries using 
the official 1.4.2 installer or download them at:
