I do not think the location matters > for ispell. Patches are welcome, but I doubt that it's so easy to find a robust directory to run ispell, what with machines that lack a C: drive. The user's home directory might be a better idea, but even that is not fool-proof. So I think perhaps the code should try c:/ or ~, and if that fails, fall back on the current behavior.
