Before you go too far, I would really recommend aspell/pspell over ispell
because they are *much* better.  I just switched a few weeks ago and I am
extremely happy.

For more info, check out the following:

    http://sourceforge.net/projects/aspell/
    http://sourceforge.net/projects/pspell/

Note that aspell/pspell build OOTB under Cygwin.  See attached for my
build recipes sans tar commands -- you may find them useful.
