It's fairly easy to fool ispell.  I use the following kludge:

(require 'ispell)
(add-to-list 'ispell-local-dictionary-alist
	     '("ndeutsch8-15"
	       "[a-zA-Z\xf44\xf56\xf5c\xf5f\xf64\xf76\xf7c]"
	       "[^a-zA-Z\xf44\xf56\xf5c\xf5f\xf64\xf76\xf7c]"
	       "[']" t
	       ("-C" "-d" "ndeutsch")
	       "~latin1" iso-8859-15))

I took the ndeutsch8 entry and modified it slightly.  Note that the
next-to-last item still says "~latin1", and the ispell dictionary
name still says "ndeutsch", but the last item in the list is now
iso-8859-15 instead of iso-8859-1.
