Hello again,

Kevin, I am sorry but it seems that the patches I sent are not up to 
date. Here is a message from Joost who maintains the Windows port for LyX:

----

The patches in LyX SVN are no longer in use. Previously, I've use 
aspell-setter-sep06.patch in combination with the unofficial version by 
Gary Setter.

I'm currently using the version provided by Nicolas Hatier (posted to 
aspell-devel in July 2007), which adds MSVC support to Aspell. In 
addition, I've fixed a few Windows bugs and made Aspell check for a 
registry key that contains the dictionary and data file location, so the 
dictionaries can be shared by all applications.

We have also created an installer for the Aspell data files and 
installers for all dictionaries. The dictionary installers are generated 
automatically using a shell script.

Joost Verburg
