Yepp, you are right. I haven't fixed any bugz in Hunspell, I have just compiled it. Actually one small
configuration thing just to get it to compile.  I have tested now my own hunspell.exe  and -Q options, but
neither of Emacses works, but with your Hunsepll both do, so it must patches you have applied.

Once again - thanks for pointing me to ezwinport.
