??? The ispell.el library in Emacs supports the programs 'ispell',
'aspell', 'hunspell', and 'enchant'.  If you have more than one of
these on PATH, you select the program you want to use by setting the
variable ispell-program-name.

So I think what you want is already possible, for quite some time.
