With the aspell package, spell is a script that calls: aspell and sort! 
 Isn't that enough.  Should we supply a spell replacement (as a script)?

Writing the actual code is easy!  It is an extension of what is already 
there for the internal spell checker.  Should this be code surrounded by 
a special #IFDEF so that it is only included when selected?

Is it OK just to call "sort -u" (sort with uniq option)?  Will this work 
everywhere or must you call sort and uniq?
