Actual problem happens in `ispell-start-process' where the string to be
passed to the spellchecker as personal dictionary is expanded,
(if ispell-current-personal-dictionary ; Use specified pers dict.
(list "-p" (expand-file-name ispell-current-personal-dictionary)))
and is indeed affected by the changes in `default-dictionary' coming from
`ispell-init-process`.
I think the only reason for that `expand-file-name' is the tilde expansion
in non-UNIX systems. In UNIX systems tilde can be explicitly passed.
Not sure if the directory {forward,back}slash is also related to this.
I am thinking about expanding `ispell-current-personal-dictionary' string
only if it contains a tilde prefix.
However I am too biassed to the UNIX world. Anyone at the e.g. win32 world
can provide info about possible problems with that?
