This has nothing to do with MySpell compatibility.  Just being able to 
"munch" a word list.

And the programs which use MySpell with no option to use Aspell are?  To 
the best of my knowledge that is only OpenOffice.  A plugin to use Aspell 
may be a better option as it will be more direct and less error prone.  
Please don't assume that the a MySpell interface layer is the way to go 
until you know what is involved.
