By the way, why do we provide flyspell?. It is already in emacs and, if
I am not wrong we put it as is in the dictionaries-common package, 
without changes. The only reason I see is to provide a more recent 
flyspell than the one provided with emacs.

I see some things we can do on this, if we cannot find a way to fix this 
problem in flyspell.el:

(a) Remove flyspell.el from dictionaries-common
(b) Remove flyspell.el from the list of emacsen to be byte compiled.
     This has probably some conflict with the emacsen policy.
(c) Contact Manuel Serrano, flyspell.el author, asking him for help.
     This is probably a good idea even if we remove flyspell.el, since
     flyspell should not check ispell existence during byte-compilation,
     only during program run.

What do you think?
