I attach updated patches, one for Enchant support, and the other to remove
a little historical cruft from ispell.el.

Enchant 2.1.0 (just released) adds support for getting the otherchars
character list (currently only supported on hunspell), and the ispell.el
support uses it.

Hence, I believe that the Enchant support should now satisfy Eli's
requirements.
