Mails crossing eachother... for the record, my initial attempt can be
found at
http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/emacs-pretest-bug/2005-06/msg00493.html
.  I will work on getting this into shape for inclusion.

The code I wrote relies on finding the language data file in "`aspell
config data-dir`/$LANG.dat", and finding in that file a "special"
declaration (or not, if no such declaration is needed for this
language).  All of this is documented in the aspell manual, so I guess
it's ok to rely on it.
