Is this "should be" phrase unconditional? Because I have irresistible
impression this file is needed for new_pspell_manager() call to succeed.
So, I far as I can tell, libpspell_aspell.la MUST exist for
new_pspell_manager(spell_config) to succeed, where
    pspell_config_replace(spell_config,	"module", "aspell")
has been called to set the used spelling module to "aspell". I don't
know pspell internals to explain why new_pspell_manager() requires this
file to exist but I am sure that this file is required on my box. And on
some other people's boxes as well.

(... thinking if anything else needs to be added...)

The top of the libpspell_aspell.la file says:

# libpspell_aspell.la - a libtool library file
# Generated by ltmain.sh - GNU libtool 1.4 (1.920 2001/04/24 23:26:18)
#
# Please DO NOT delete this file!
# It is necessary for linking the library.

Is this statement "It is necessary for linking the library" false then?
