I implemented exactly what you are trying to do with
WBOSS as frontend to aspell.

To build your own dictionary you will have to create
an own language file.
instead of   "en"   -> "myown"   or so.

Than run aspell against your own wordlist:
aspell --lang=myown create master ./myown < wordlist

copy the "myown" into your aspell-dict-library

and

run aspell with:

aspell -a --master=myown

and you will see that it works.

BTW: I read the f* manual and it worked out at once ;-)
