 one of the other libs that use it) rather than any specific aspell
 dictionary file.


 Really, Emacs does not depend on specific dictionaries. It is capable of
 spelling if it finds the right tools on the system.

 It needs an ispell program, as aspell,


 {{{
 (setq ispell-program-name "/opt/local/bin/aspell")
 }}}

 and, obviously, one or more dictionaries. Usually, I install the
 dictionaries, assuming that also the "engine" is installed.

 If I understand, this is what happens on Ubuntu:
 http://packages.ubuntu.com/trusty/aspell-en, but I am not sure all systems
 adopt the same approach..
