http://aspell.net/win32/files/aspell-dev-0-50-3-3.zip
It has both the headers and the library. Just uncompress it into the 
same directory where 'php-src' is located, and then rename the directory 
to 'aspell' (I followed example of libxml here - same structure).

This should compile and link fine, but some symbols will be unresolved. 
Those can be found in 'aspell-15.dll' which comes in the full installer 
- http://aspell.net/win32/files/Aspell-0-50-3-3-Setup.exe
We might want to install that so the tests can run properly. Installer 
adds a registry key that is needed by the spellchecker, and gives you 
aspell-15.dll, which needs to go into some directory where php will be 
able to find it, just like iconv.dll for example.


That's pretty much it. Currently, there are a couple more small tweaks 
that are needed for aspell to work properly, especially when built in 
Release mode. Nothing major, just annoyances and should be trivial to 
fix in aspell's code (aspell is confused about windows newlines in a 
couple of its own config files - their win32 port is still far from 
perfect). Aspell's author knows about them, and will hopefully fix them 
soon. Meanwhile, I'll document them so people won't be too surprised - 
for some reason that bug doesn't show in Debug mode, but does show in 
Release. Very high WTF.

Wonderful. I created two targets - Debug_TS and Release_TS. Hopefully, 
that's enough.

Thanks!
