There is also a fourth situation:
(4) user has aspell installed, but uses ispell with ispell's dictionaries

AFAIK, the situation (2) doesn't exist. There are the following
situations instead:
(2) user has aspell installed and uses the compatibility script
`ispell' as a wrapper around aspell with aspell's dictionaries
(3) user has aspell installed and uses `aspell' executable with
aspell's dictionaries
(2) is detected by checking the output of `ispell -v'.
(3) is configured by users by changing ispell-program-name to "aspell".
After the change in flyspell.el it doesn't work with the `ispell'
compatibility script. Maybe ispell-really-aspell should have more
values to distinguish between (2) and (3). (3) can be detected
by matching ispell-program-name against the regexp "aspell$".
