Thanks.
Yeah, let's hope the API makes sense, I haven't tested with anything other than flyspell, so I was hoping you could come up with interesting cases.

Hmm... I would have expected that it's easier to link flymake to
ispell.el than to flyspell.el. But, I admit to not having actually
looked at flyspell's code.
Likewise for ispell from my side. How would you do it there? In particular, I'd like the flymake backend to issue a different diagnostic type for misspellings that have affix rules (a lot of those in Portuguese). Flyspell appears to not care.
