Perhaps but that does not change my viewpoint on the issue.  I, for the
most part, am the only developer of Aspell and have a limited amount of
time to do things and affix compression is something that is not high on
my priority list because there are other things I have been meaning to do
for way to long now.  As I said again and again, I will be more than
willing to work with anyone that would like to implement it but I do not
plan on implementing it myself any time real soon.
