else is interested]

I don't have any real documentation on the layout of the source but here
is an overview:

util/: utility functions which don't depend on other parts of the Aspell
       library.
util/*edit*: various edit distance algorithms
phonet: the phonet algorithm used for coming up with the soundslike for
        a word
util/*: various data structures, helper classes, and
        algorithms used by various parts of aspell
filter/: The code which handles the various filter.  About to undergo a
         major rewrite so I won't bother explaining what's in here
lib/: The aspell specific code.  The file names for the most part
      should be self explanatory.
lib/data multi_ws readonly_ws writable_*: Files which implement the various
                                          dictionaries.
lib/check: handles checking if a word is correct
lib/suggest: handles coming up with suggestions for a word
lib/language* phonetic: handles most of the language specific stuff
lib/manager: ties everything together
lib/*: various other helper classes
src/: The code for the actual Aspell utility

Some of the files have large block comments which gives an overview of
what the file does and how it does it.
