speller: prefer 'hunspell' over 'spell', because it can handle UTF-8
Also, 'hunspell' is sensitive to the 'LANG' environment variable,
so that spell checking will take place for the language that the
user is using, instead of always for English. (This is a behavior
change, and some people may not like it, expecting the spell check
to occur always for English, but... we'll see.)
