Hi, 

Remember that aspell-user uses English as communication language.
I am just adding some info, including partial translations for
aspell maintainer benefit (Hi, Kevin)

That Makefile snippet is created by aspell proc script from aspell-lang in
ftp://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/aspell/. Similar snippets seems to be in all other
aspell dictionaries (20101122 aspell-lang seems to still use that).

At least for GNU make those suffix rules are the original and obsolete way
of defining implicit rules.

That is the current way of defining implicit rules, at least in GNU make.
I'd have expected old suffix rules to work in any make, but seems not the
case, at least for MSYS. Will normal implicit rules work in any make?

What do you think, Kevin?
