The "(:eval ...)" thingy should be in ispell.el (maybe in a variable
`ispell-mode-line-dictionary').  Also it should have some mouse-face
property along with a keymap property that lets the user cycle between
his usual dictionaries with a mouse click.

Of course, the question remains of where to put it on the mode-line and
whether to enable it by default.  The mode line is pretty damn crowded
already.
