Why should that be outside libaspell. One place where the LoadLibrary is 
called ( in unix dlopen or others) is in loadable filter support. And this is 
definitly at least it was part of libaspell. Thus LoadLibrary will be called 
within libaspell if the filter support is hooked up to the core spellchecker 
by the application. But that does not mean that LoadLibrary is called outside 
libaspell.
If you mean by called outside libaspell that you want to allow applications to 
have one place where LoasLibarary is called, add some dl fucntion 
registration which allows applications to forces aspell to retrieve modules 
form them instead directly asking the operating system.

Further which code calls LoadLibrary outside libaspell ??? What do you mean???
