Look at "modules/speller/default/suggest.cpp".  The Aspell API does not
provide a way to return the score.  However if you define DEBUG_SUGGEST,
by uncommenting the line that defines it, it will print out suggestion
information.  Understand, however, that the algorithm Aspell uses is not
set in stone and can change between releases.  That one of the reasons I
don't provide a way to get the scores, the other is figuring out how to
extent the API to support it.
