hypenation

Hi,

I would like to see aspell support hyphen-
ated words.

Is there a way to make aspell understand the word "hyphenated"
in the above sentence?
I think this should be a simple modification, but I do not see where
this should be added. I'm trying to wade though the source code
but it looks like it's a rather complicated matter to see how it works.
I suppose gdb and "n" will have to guide me...
