i don't think aspell requires anything. this file should be used only
when the aspell asks for language tags (it is a way to ask aspell for
a particular dictionary/language/jrgon/dilect/whatever) like en_GB or
it_IT in order to know which worldlist should be taken, since their
name starts with the extended name of the language.

there is also gnome-spell, which is a component that wraps around pspell.
