Well your solution fixed it. It was just an incorrect error message that lead
to confusion because people would install ispell but it said ispell wasn't
installed.

If you want to improve the message further, though (and why not?), you could
also tell them specifically which speller they have selected and what the
problem is exactly, i.e. 'You have selected "ASpell" as your speller in the
configuration dialog but the command "aspell" does not exist. Make sure the
"aspell" program is installed and in a directory which is in your PATH
environment variable'. But at least now the message is not untrue, which would
make it not technically a bug anymore.

Maybe it could also do a check when the user selects a spelling program in the
configuration dialog, and also have no spelling program selected by default, to
avoid further confusion.
