You could ask on help-gnu-emacs.

This is language-dependent: for some languages Aspell is slightly
better, for others Hunspell is much better. I don't see how bundling
the speller with Emacs could help here, especially if the user's
language is not covered by a dictionary for that speller.

The ezwinports site is what I recommend (not surprisingly ;-)

The latest development trunk shouldn't have thee problems. Did you
try just using Hunspell without any configuration?

Maybe you configured it without ncurses, or didn't have ncurses
installed. If ncurses is present, the compiled binary includes a UI,
you don't need a separate program for that. Again, try the binaries
from ezwinports site.
