I can't find one (ispell win32) and i guess it is not trivial to build.
And now i'd like to ask you why i don't see ispell in ezwinports...? :-)
Anyway, i use cygwin (a lot of it), but prefer native Emacs. Hunspell
works with myspell dictionaries, right? (then maybe it is the best
solution to my cygwin ispell problem).

Ok, i'll try. But i'm going to propose two patches; one as you proposed
and another, where dictionaries would be looked up in this order:
* -d if it's absolute path;
* ispell-library-directory;
* custom directory (say defcustom ispell-local-library-directory).

cygwin ispell reports its LIBDIR as '/usr/local/lib'. Even some old
win32 build(s), i once had, had LIBDIR pointing to '/usr/lib' and
dictionaries should have been be placed in C:\usr\lib... :-)
> manual configuration would be a step in the wrong direction, IMO.
IMO its the same kind of manual configuration as to manually specify
dictionaries with -d (absolute path). `ispell-local-library-directory'
would be transparent to user (won't require any
configuration/consideration if he doesn't use it).
