bug#67045: No way to control location of .aspell.en.prepl from within Emacs

[Björn Lindqvist]

I didn't know about that variable and it's not in the manual afaics. I
managed to piece some elisp together using it to set the --repl
option. It works, though I don't think it is a very user-friendly
solution.
