I'm working on adding libsigc++ which means we can kiss 2.7.2 goodbye.
Libsigc++ would probably be as restrictive as aspell given its heavy use
of templates.

I've already said you might be better off wrapping ispell with your aspell
C++ interface and then once that works worry about a C wrapper.
Then C++ apps get a good C++ interface to use and C programmers get a
C-wrapper for the C++ interface. Don't ask me how it works it's just
something I'd investigate if I were you.
