[vile] spell filter

[Paul Fox]

the spell filter has always run "spell -l" by default, because
that's traditional.  but as far as i can tell (in a very brief
survey), the spell command doesn't exist on either fedora or
ubuntu.  well, there's a "spell" script on fedora that calls
aspell, but it doesn't accept a "-l".

i'm wondering if it's time to change the default program to
something else ("ispell -l"?  "aspell list"?  what's the
difference between aspell and ispell, anyway?), in order to
work better out of the box?
