When using the spell USE flag for SquirrelMail, the ispell package (which is
required for the spelling plug-in) is not emerged as a dependency, causing it
to error when you try to use the plug-in.

Reproducible: Always

squirrelmail doens't use the 'spell' use flag...

It has been added to RDEPEND

Squirrelmail shouldn't require ispell.  if you don't use the squirrelspell
plugin, it will happily run without ispell, and even if you do, squirrelspell
supports aspell as well (some of us like to run GPL software whereever
possible).  Shoving ispell down our throats isn't the answer here.

I don´t want this, definitely not as a hard dependency without any use flag.
See Bug 88436 for reasons (which are similar to Comment #3 here anyway). :-(

I would suggest that the aspell dependency be removed, and that a
messagewarning the user that in order to use the spelling plugin he must
install either aspell or ispell. Or perhaps there could be an aspell/ispell use
flag to specify which is desired?

Comment #5: 

1. There is a global spell flag... 
2. What about something like this?

IUSE="crypt ldap spell ssl virus-scan"
RDEPEND="...
        spell? || ( app-text/ispell app-text/aspell )"
