Why does it matter which file names are tried, if the net result will
be the same: to fail?
Read my lips: the _ONLY_ way to make this feature work on Windows is
to customize the value of ispell-complete-word-dict or that of
ispell-alternate-dictionary. Unless you do that, this feature will
_ALWAYS_ fail on Windows; the only thing we can do is make the error
message more helpful. And if the option _is_ customized, I trust the
user to include the drive letter in the value.
